[VERSE 1]
On a [Bb]cold and windy [C]morning,
Said good[Bb]bye to my old [C]friends
They were [Bb]hangin' around the [C]corner,
They were [Dm]stayin' till the [Am]end
till the [F]end

[VERSE 2]
On the [Bb]other side of [C]midnight,
I was [Bb]lookin' for a place to [C]stay
And [Bb]one thing's sure for [C]certain,
I ain't [Dm]never goin' back a[Am]gain
no [F]no
[Dm] [C] The stranger[F]

[VERSE 3]
The [Bb]streetlights looked so [C]pretty
As they [Bb]spread into a [C]town
I was l[Bb]ookin' for another [C]sundown
And my [Dm]head was spinning round and [Am]round
All ar[F]ound

[CHORUS]
[F]Lookin' through the eyes of a strange[G7]r
Lookin' through the [C]eyes of danger[F]
Lookin' at the all-night dance[G7]r
[C]Never takin' all the chances[Fmaj7]
Of a [G7]Strang[F]er

As I [Bb]walked into the [C]main street,

And I [Bb]heard a guitar [C]playin'
and I [Dm]saw you standing [Am]there
standing [F]there

Dist[Bb]ant bells they s[C]tarted ringing,
somew[Bb]here far off in t[C]he night

Oh O[F]h
