Tall Dark Stranger
by Buck Owens
Chorus
EDAE
Beware of a tall dark stranger
DAE
If he comes riding in to your town
DAE
A tall dark stranger is danger
AB7E
So don’t let no strangers hang around
ADA
For he can capture the heart of a woman
DA
With one glance from his flashing brown eyes
F#mD
Like a bolt from the blue he can steal her from you
GB7
Then jump up on his pony and riderideride
Repeat chorus
ADA
They say a tall dark stranger is a demon
DA
And a devil rides closely by his side
F#mD
With no warning he can strike like a thief in the night
GB7
Then jump up on his pony and riderideride
Repeat chorus
