---------------


intro: F G C D CC D  (Riff #1)


      G
He's a perfect stranger
Like a cross of himself and a fox   		(Riff #2)
      G
He's a feeling arranger
And a changer of the ways he talks		(Riff #2)
      G
He's the unforeseen danger
The keeper of the key to the locks 		(Riff #2)

Bb		C
Know when you  see him
Bb		C
Nothing can  	free him
Bb		C
Step aside, 	open wide

D
	It's the loner

(Riff #1)

If you see him in the subway
He'll be down at the end of the car --- 	(Riff #2)
Watching you move
Until he knows he knows who you are	 	(Riff #2)
When you get off at your station alone
He'll know that you are	 			(Riff #2)

Know when you see him
Nothing can free him
Step aside, open wide
It's the loner 					(Riff #3) (Riff #2)

There was a woman he knew
About a year or so ago				(Riff #2)
She had something that he needed
And he pleaded with her not to go	  	(Riff #2)
On the day that she left
He died, but it did not show  			(Riff #2)
	
Know when you see him
Nothing can free him
Step aside, open wide
It's the loner 					(Riff #3)  (end on D)
