This is just a 3 chord blues song in Em. The bass guitar contributes a lot to
the feel. This feel can be duplicated by a rhythm guitar by doing bass work on
the E and A strings while strumming.
(Here's one approach to the rhythm using a D-D-U strum:)
Em Am

[Intro]
Em Am Em B7
[Verse]
Em
Let go of your love
Em
Ride his pulse and you’ll forget
Am
Slow down your time will come
Em
If not tonight surely by the dawn
B7
Just take it like a man
Em
The strange face of love
[Verse]
Em
A cat’s eye, a lizard’s tail
Em
The pentagram he bought in hell
Am
He stalks the night with no intent
Em
His brow sweats for innocence
B7
And take it like a man
Em
The strange face of love
[Chorus]
Em
Don’t look back, don’t look back
Em
He’s right on your trail
Am
Don’t look back, don’t look back
Em
He’s just a step away from hell
B7
Don’t look back, don’t look back
Em
Into the strange face of love
[Verse]
Em
The rain’s soul makes killer cry
Em
He wants desperately to die
Am
But fast and skillfully forgets
Em
He’s back on the street with no regrets
B7
Just take it like a man
Em
The strange face of love
[Chorus]
Em
Don’t look back, don’t look back
Em
He’s right on your trail
Am
Don’t look back, don’t look back
Em
He’s just a step away from hell
B7
Don’t look back, don’t look back
Em
Into the strange face of love
[Solo]
Em Am Em B7 Em
[Chorus]
Em
Don’t look back, don’t look back
Em
He’s right on your trail
Am
Don’t look back, don’t look back
Em
He’s just a step away from hell
B7
Don’t look back, don’t look back
Em
Into the strange face of love
[Outro]
Em
Strange, it's Strange
Em
Strange, it's Strange face of love
Em
Strange
