The New Basement Tapes - Stranger
E
Never fall in love with a stranger
B
and that's what they all said to me
A E
Never fall in love with a stranger
B E
but I can't help it if she falls in love with me
E
And never fall in love with a stranger
B
Now they are up against my command
A E
and never fall in love with a stranger
B E
The pain is written in my hands
A E B A E B
But I can't resit, find my way out of this
A E
She knows that I love more than any river flows
A E
And I'm done now, all of my intentions are exposed
A E B A E B
Now hidden in my clothes, or in between my toes
E
I wanna a tombstone pearl handle revolver
B
Don't wanna meet a pale man with a halo in his hair
A E
And never fall in love with a stranger
B E
But sometimes I simply do not care
A E B A E B
But I can't resit, get my way out of this
A E
She knows that I love more than any river flows
A E
And I'm done now, all of my intentions are exposed
A E B A E B
Now hidden in my clothes, or in between my toes
(B) E
I've done things right pretty much all of my life
E B
I'm not looking for any sympathy
A E A E
I can run all I like away from that stranger
B E
But somehow she will always follow me
