I am a lonely visitor.
   Bb
I came too late to cause a stir,

I hardly slept the night you wept;

our secret's safe and still well 
kept

Traffic cops are all color blind.

People steal from their own kind.

Evening comes to early for a stroll.

Down neon streets the streaker 
streaks.
Dm                           Dm/C
The speaker speaks, but the truth 
still leaks,
 C                              
where even Richard Nixon has got 
  Dm
soul.

The podium rocks in the crowded

Roads stretch out like healthy

Subject: Re: D Q:Campaigner by Neil 
Young

I play it in D, though I think it 
might be capoed at the 2nd fret on
the LP.

Intro revolves around a D to D/E 
(lift your 2nd finger to let the 
high
E ring about 4 times) then a D/G (?)
 which I play by adding a G bass
on top of the same D structure on 
the 1st & 2nd strings
D|----| D/E----     ----D/G----
