Duran Duran - "The Seventh Stranger"
(From the album "Seven and the Ragged Tiger")
CThose words are all reEmmainders, Cechoes growing in the Eheart of twilight
Gm7They lay back Dmlaughing at naGm7ivety Dmstar
CAwaken all those whisEmpers
CThe dusty shadow of a Epassing favour
Gm7I wouldn't Dmsay that you were Gm7ruthless or Dmright
Gm7I couldn't Dmsee from so Cfar
FWas I chasing after Crainbows?
One thing for Esure you never answered when I
AmG -17-16\14\12\10-- (\ = slide)
called
FAnd I wiped away the Dwater from my face
to Elook through the eyes of a Amstranger
For Fmaj7rumours in the Fmwake of such a Glonely crowd
Dtrading in my shelter for Amdanger
I'm Fmaj7changing my Fmname just as the Gsun goes down
in the Dsuseyes of Da strangerAm  
CCan't tell the real from reEmflection
CWhen all these faces look the Esame to me
Gm7In ev'ry Dmcity such a Gm7desolate Dmdream
CSome days are strange to Emnumbers
CSome say the seventh sounds a Elittle bit stranger
Gm7A year of DmSundays seems to have Gm7drifted right Dmby
Gm7I could have Dmsworn in one eveCning
FAnd I'm not seized in despeCration
No steel reEproaches on the table from be-
