STRANGER IN YOUR SOUL 1Written by Neal Morse, Pete Trewavas, Roine Stolt and Mike Portnoy

BUSKERS CHARTSome harmony is simplified or altered to utilise familiar chords.Example Dm7b5 is replaced by Fm omitting the bass note.Other bass movement, inversions and polychords are mostly ignored.Time signatures imply the duration of the chords without the use of bar-lines.Two-beat changes in 4/4 are notated with the ` symbol.Changes within odd-meters are indicated with the . symbol and beat number.Half-time sections are considered 2/4 rather than label each chord.Tune down one half-step to play along with the recording.
