Lonely Stranger
Eric Clapton

Key:
Intro: It goes something like this. Forget about the bar lines. And you have to figure out the ryth in the intro yourself.

figure I must be invisible No one knows me I have crawled down dead-end streets On my hands and knees I was born with a ragin' thirst A hunger to be free But I've learned through the years Don't encourage me CHORUS Cause I'm a lonely stranger here Well beyond my day And I don't know what's goin' on So I'll be on my way When I walk, stay behind Don't get close to me Cause it's sure to end in tears So just let me be Some will say that I'm no good Maybe I agree Take a look then walk away That's all right with me
