Track 1 off of Leon Russell and the Shelter People, 1971. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQbk2C4ZmsE Leon does it in Bb, this tab is in A. Capo 1 to play along. The chorus is the same chords as "With A Little Help From My Friends". I think the riff is tasty.

Don't know what there is to say about the G D way the people are treating each other, A not like brothers. Leaders take us G D far away from ecology with A mythology and astrology. I’ve got some G D words to say about the way we live A today. Why can't we learn to love each G D other? It's time to turn a new face to the A whole world wide human race. G D Stop the money chase. Lay back, A relax, get back on the human track. G D Stop racing toward oblivion. Oh, such a A sad, sad state we're in G D and that's a thing. Do you recognize the bells of A truth when you hear them ring? Won't you G D A stop and listen to the children sing? G D Won’t you sing it children? A Won't you come on and sing it children? G D A He's a stranger in a strange land G D A Just a stranger in a strange land G D A stranger in a strange land G D A stranger in a strange land (repeat to fade)
How many days has it been
Since I was born
How many days until I die
Do I know any ways
That I can make you laugh
Or do I only know how to make you cry
When the baby looks around him
It's such a sight to see
He shares a simple secret
With the wise man
He's a stranger in a strange land
Just a stranger in a strange land
Tell me why
He's a stranger in a strange land
Just a stranger in a strange land
How many miles will it take
To see the sun
And how many years until it's done
Kiss my confusion away in the night
Lay by side when the morning comes
And the baby looks around him
And shares his bed of hay
With the burrow in the palace of the king
He's a stranger in a strange land
Tell me why
He's a stranger in a strange land
Just a stranger in a strange land
Well, I don't exactly know
What's going on in the world today
Don't know what there is to say
About the way the people are treating
Each other, not like brothers
Leaders take us far away from ecology
With mythology and astrology
Has got some words to say
About the way we live today
Why can't we learn to love each other
It's time to turn a new face
To the whole world wide human race
Stop the money chase
Lay back, relax
Get back on the human track
Stop racing toward oblivion
Oh, such a sad, sad state we're in
And that's a thing
Do you recognize the bells of truth
When you hear them ring
Won't you stop and listen
To the children sing
Won't you come on and sing it children
He's a stranger in a strange land
Just a stranger in a strange land
