Song: LONELY STRANGER
Artist: Eric Clapton
E A/E Am/E E (bis)
(Intro)
E A/E C#m F#
I must be invisible ;
G#m F# B B/A
No one knows me.
E A/E C#m F#
I have crawled down dead-end streets
D A E A/E Am/E E E A/E Am/E E
On my hands and knees.
E A/E C#m F#
I was born with a ragin’ thirst,
G#m F# B B/A
A hunger to be free,
E A/E C#m F#
But I’ve learned through the years.
D A E A/E Am/E E E A/E Am/E E
Don’t encourage me.
Chorus :
E F# B B/A C#m/G#
‘Cause I’m a lonely stranger here,
A G#7 C#m E7
Well beyond my day.
A F#/A# E/B C#m
And I don’t know what’s goin’ on,
F#m B7 E A/E Am/E E E A/E Am/E E
So I’ll be on my way.
E A/E C#m F#
When I walk, stay behind ;
G#m F# B B/A
Don’t get close to me,
E A/E C#m F#
‘Cause it’s sure to end in tears,
D A E A/E Am/E E E A/E Am/E E
So just let me be.
E A/E C#m F#
Some will say that I’m no good ;
G#m F# B B/A
Maybe I agree.
E A/E C#m F#
Take a look then walk away.
D A E A/E Am/E E E A/E Am/E E
That’s all right with me.
Chorus
