Stranger In Town

(Del Shannon)

Intro (there's no real "verse"):

Me and my baby been on the run

So very long

(Am) G

Her folks sent a man to get us

They say we've done wrong

E7 [N.C.]

So we run, yeah we run, yeah we run

From the stranger in town

Chorus 1:

Stranger in town, he's out to get me

Stranger in town, wants me and my baby

He follows me

From town to town

And if he gets me

He'll bring me down

E7 [N.C.]

So we run, yeah we run, yeah we run

From the stranger in town

Woo-oo-oo woo-oo-oo

I'm not afraid of what they'll do to me

I'm just afraid they'll hurt my baby

We don't care if we run forever

Just as long as we're together

Break (tenor and baritone saxes):

/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /

Chorus 2:

Stranger in town, I think we've lost him

Stranger in town, can't let him bring us in

Another town

One more mile

And we'll be free

For a while

And we'll run, yeah we'll run, yeah we'll run

From the stranger in town

Woo-oo-oo woo-oo-oo

Coda (repeat to fade):

Stranger in town
