Song:   LONELY STRANGER
Artist: Eric Clapton

E     A/E   Am/E  E  (bis)
(Intro)

E      A/E C#m   F#
I must be  invisible ;
Abm    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,
Abm  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/Ab
'Cause I'm a lonely stranger here,
A      Ab7     C#m  E7
Well beyond my day.
A           F#/Bb       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 ;
Abm       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 ;
Abm 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
