Dangerous Stranger
guitar chords lyrics
Verse 1
A D E A D A
It's after midnight in the city of broken dreams
A D E A D A
Down in the alley, Galileo meets his pack of thieves
E
Over the river by the old hotel
D
There's a big car coming like a bat out of Hell
A D E A
It's the dangerous stranger in his ghostly limou---sine.
Verse 2
A D E A D A
You get the feeling that he's running in an endless race
A D E A D A
Driving through the city like a razor across its face
E
Stops on the corner in a flash of flame
D
He calls to me ('Hey boy, what's your name?)
A D E A A-G#-F#
He's the stranger with a danger if you ever get to play his game.
Chorus
F# D
I want to go for a ride
G F#
To see what lies on the other side
D B E (D-EEE, D-EEE, D-EEE)
I want to go for a ride tonight, tonight.
Verse 3
A D E A D A
I climb right in, like a fool I say I'll go
A D E A D A
I listen to the messages comin' through his radi----o
E
Is that my name on channel 9? They say
D
('You're going away for a long long time')
A D E A A-G#-F#
With the dangerous stranger from a station on the other side.
Chorus
F# D
I want to go for a ride
G F#
To see what lies on the other side
D B E (D-EEE, D-EEE, D-EEE)
I want to go for a ride tonight, tonight.
Verse 4
A D E A D A
The night is black and the stars no longer burn
A D E A D A
The radio says that we're past the point of no return
E
I scream at the driver but he says
D
('No way, you shouldn't have come if you didn't want to stay')
A D E A
He's the dangerous stranger on a highway to the end of time
A D E A
He's the dangerous stranger on a highway to the end of time.
