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
