Stranger Chords & Lyrics - The Hollies

CAPO: 3rd Fret

[E]Down, down, do[G]wn town,[A] east side of the river [E]
Bowery [G]boys[A] are living off the street [E]
There stands a [G]stranger[A] all dressed in black [E]
He's looking for [G]someone, he's gonna [A]knife 'em in the back

[PRE-CHORUS]
[E]Hit man, g-man, [G]con man, watch it man, he [A]might be from the CIA [E]
Sneaky Pete's [G]using his feet, [A]getting off the street 'cause
He's got something to [E]hide

[CHORUS]
[G]Danger, there's a stranger [A]
Intruding in your own back[E]yard
But [A]stranger, there's a danger [C]
Don't come across nobody [E]hard

So tough [G]mixing it rough[A] down in Harlem [E]
There's no [G]honky boys[A] for miles around [E]
But there's that [G]stranger[A] all dressed in white [E]
He's looking for [G]someone
He's gonna show 'em the [A]light, yeah

He's gonna show 'em the light, oh yeah

INSTRUMENTAL: [A] [E]

Don't feel safe using the face [A]of fifth avenue
[E]Pin stripe suits ain't [G]no disguise, [A]if you're not a man that's true

[PRE-CHORUS]
[E]Hit man, g-man, [G]con man, watch it man, he [A]might be from the CIA [E]
Sneaky Pete's still [G]using his feet he's [A]getting off the street 'cause
He's got something to [E]hide

[CHORUS]
[G]Danger, there's a stranger [A]
Intruding in your own back[E]yard
But [A]stranger, there's a danger [C]
Don't come across nobody [E]hard
