Tall Dark Stranger
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Beware of a tall dark stranger if he comes ridin' into your town
A tall dark stranger is danger (danger) so don't let no stranger hang around
For he can capture the heart of a woman
With one glance from his flashing brown eyes
Like a bolt from the blue he can steal her from you
Then jump up on his pony and ride ride ride
So beware of a tall dark stranger...
[ ac.guitar ]
They say a tall dark stranger is a demon and that a devil rides closely by his side
With no warning he can strike like the thief in the night
Then jump up on his pony and ride ride ride
So beware of a tall dark stranger...
So don't let no stranger hang around
