THE LONER - Neil Young
TUNING: D A D G B D (Double Drop D)
[Intro] F G C D C/D D5 C/D D5 C/D D5 (repeat)
[Verse 1]
D5 G9 D Dm7 D Dm7
He's the perfect stranger like a cross of himself and a fox
G9 D Dm7 D Dm7
He's a feeling arranger and a changer of the way he talks
G9 D Dm7 D Dm7
He's the unforeseen danger and the keeper of the key to the locks
[Chorus]
C6 D6 Bm C D6 Bm
Know when you see him, nothing can free him
C6 D6 D5
Step aside, open wide, it's the loner
[Verse 2]
If you see him in the subway, he'll be down at the end of the car
Watching you move till he knows, he knows who you are
When you get off at the station alone, he'll know that you are
[Chorus]
C6 D6 Bm C D6 Bm
Know when you see him, nothing can free him
C6 D6 D5
Step aside, open wide, it's the loner
[Verse 3]
There was a woman he knew about a year or so ago
She had something that he needed and he pleaded with her not to go
On the day that she left, he died but it did not show
[Chorus]
C6 D6 Bm C D6 Bm
Know when you see him, nothing can free him
C6 D6 D5
Step aside, open wide, it's the loner
