Verse:
Dm7          G9                    C7 
Take my hand,    I'm a stranger in paradise,
Dm7          G9           Fm               C7 
All lost in a wonderland,    a stranger in paradise.
            Dm7        G9                       C7 
If I stand starry-eyed,     that's a danger in paradise
     Am6         Dm7         Fm    G9         C
For mortals who stand beside   an angel like you.

Bridge:
           Ab7            Db
I saw your face, and I ascended
            Bm6       C7          Fm
Out of the commonplace   into the rare.
              E7             A
Somewhere in space I hang suspended
         Dm7            G9        C7 
Until I know there's a chance you care.

Chorus:
          Edim        Dm7          G9                  C7 
Won't you answer the fervent prayer   of a stranger in paradise?
                  Dm7         G9                 C7 
Don't send me in dark despair    from all that I hunger for,
               D7       G9                      Em7          Edim
But open your angel arms    to this stranger in paradise
                 Dm7         Fm    G9          C
And tell him that he need be    a stranger no more.

Bridge:
           Ab7            Db
I saw your face, and I ascended
            Bm6       C7          Fm
Out of the commonplace   into the rare.
              E7             A
Somewhere in space I hang suspended
         Dm7            G9        C7 
Until I know there's a chance you care.

Chorus:
          Edim        Dm7          G9                  C7 
Won't you answer the fervent prayer   of a stranger in paradise?
                  Dm7         G9                 C7 
Don't send me in dark despair    from all that I hunger for,
               D7       G9                      Em7          Edim
But open your angel arms    to this stranger in paradise
                 Dm7         Fm    G9          C
And tell him that he need be    a stranger no more.

How to play Stranger in Paradise on ukulele

The strumming pattern that fits is the everywhere 4/4: d – d u – u d –. Expect a relaxed pace, around 70 bpm, with a light swing to it. The chords ask a bit more of you, so I rate them proficient. Let each chord ring and change slowly to match the lush ballad.
