[Verse 1]
[G]Dav[Bm]e Peverett - Riff
Bros. Music [A]- ASCAP
Who's that [Bm]stranger walking

[Verse 2]
[G]
out in [A]the cold?
Standing on [Bm]the corner with
[G]his [A]Kodachrome roll?
He may be a psy[Bm]chopath,
he's [G]acting [A]so strange,
Lying to him[Bm]self,
saying [G]nothing [A]has changed.
He stares [Bm]across at a
[G]house on [A]the block,
Trying to find [Bm]the courage
to go [G]over [A]and knock.
What will [Bm]he say when
they [G]open [A]the door?
"This was my [Bm]home,
but it [G]ain't [A]no more."

[Verse 3]
[A]He can't get [Bm]Brixton,
[G]out[A] of his system[Bm].[G][A]
It seems so [Bm]pathetic, [G]yeah,
[A]but it's hard to forget[Bm] it.[G][A]
[G]Way back

[Verse 4]
[Bm]in '[A]59, a young boy was [G]crying,
he didn't [Bm]want to leave, but [A]what could he [G]say?
Jumped in[Bm]to the lo[A]rry, left there in[G] a hurry,
never know[Bm]ing he'd b[A]ack some d[G]ay.

[Verse 5]
[D]Stranger in my [G]home town,
[D]I'm[G] just a stra[D]nger in my home t[G]own.[D][G]
[Bm]Could this [A]street be a [G]part of me? I can't believe
[E]it - this ain't no place [G]to be.

[Interlude 1]
[Bm]

[Verse 6]
[A]Who's that [Bm]Peeping Tom
[G]climbing the [A]wall?
Staring at the [Bm]back yard, [G]he's gon[A]na fall.
He looks so sus[Bm]picious,
[G]I should called [A]the law,
I wish I could re[Bm]member where
[G]I've seen him [A]before.

[Verse 7]
[A]Sunrise [Bm]to sundown,
[G]stu[A]mbling through London[Bm] town.[G][A]
He acts like [Bm]he's stranded,
[G]but[A] that's how he planne[Bm]d it.[G][A]

[Verse 8]
[G]Way back in [Bm]'59,[A] a young boy was[G] crying,
he didn't [Bm]want to leave, [A]but what could [G]he say?
Jump in[Bm]to the lo[A]rry, left there in[G] a hurry,
never [Bm]knowing he'd back [A]some [G]day.

[Verse 9]
[D]Stranger in my [Bm]home [G]town,
[D]I'm[G] just a stra[D]nger in my home t[Bm]own.[D][G]
[Bm]Could this [A]street be [G]a part of me? I can't believe
[E]it - this ain't no place to [G]be.

[Interlude 2]
