        Em
Is it a mean streak
      C                  D 
you'd swear you'd swear
                Em
we never seen a stranger round here
                        C
is it the way the dust clings to the air
          D                  Em
but you'd swear you'd swear


Is it a mean streak
a desolation sound
a copy of desire oh nothing's that far down
a mean streak on a western swing
on Tv saying the damnedest thing

    Em
Meanstreak

      C                  D 
you'd swear you'd swear
                Em
we never seen a stranger round here
                        C
it's the way the dust clings to the air
        A  
after a stranger's been there
       A
you'd swear you'd swear


Em C D Em


Is it a mean streak
to a certain degree
come whistlin down the crookedist street
a mean streak in  the ghost state
between the certain and the hesititing

     Em
A mean streak

      C                  D 
you'd swear you'd swear
                Em
we never seen a stranger round here
                        C
it's the way the dust clings to the air
        A  
after a stranger's been there
       A
you'd swear you'd swear

C
was that you there?
A
that was you there
C
was that you there?
A
that was you there

(I'm not sure about this last bit)

The ssh sound of the bottoms of their boots
on the tops of the grass
as their haywagon
rolled past
and I'd swear I's swear
the way the dust clings to the air
after the stranger's been there
I'd swear I'd swear
that that was you there
