Intro:  G#m 


[Verso 1]
 
A                   B/A      C#m/A 
 I remember it was late one night 
        A     B/A  C#m/A 
In the middle of a dream 
A             B/A      C#m/A 
 Woke up in a pool of sweat 
A          B       C#m 
Thought I heard a scream 
A                 B/A   C#m/A 
 Ran over to the window sill 
          A       B/A   C#m/A 
Stuck my head out for a peek 
             A                B/A        C#m/A 
Dressed in black was a man I didn't recognize 
 A       B   C#m        D 
Running down my back street 
                    C#m 
My heart skipped a beat 


[Refrão]

     E            A 
You better watch out 
  C#m               B 
There's a stranger in town 
     E            A 
You better watch out 
  C#m               B 
There's a stranger in town 
     E            A 
You better watch out 
 C#m            D 
When he comes around 
              C#m 
Don't make a sound

Vendors on the corner just doin' their job 
A            B/A      C#m/A 
Acting like nothing's new

Scotland Yard's still looking for him 
        A       B       C#m     D 
But he doesn't leave a single clue 
              C#m 
What can they do? 


[Refrão]
