Stranger
The New Basement Tapes
Written By Bob Dylan & Marcus Mumford
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: The other chord sheet on here is in the right key, but doesn't feel right at all.
I made this version from scratch, still in the right key, but with the correct lyrics and chord structure
based on listening to the actual song.
