#1:
FF F7F7 Bb majorBb
Maybe she was smiling in the mirror
C7C7 FF
Maybe I was too 'cause I was stoned
FF F7F7 Bb majorBb G+G
Singing every sad song on the jukebox one more time
C7C7 FF
Honey they were hittin' close to home
#2:
FF F7F7 Bb majorBb
And I said maybe this will make you think I'm crazy
C7C7 FF
Honey don't feel lonesome if you do
FF F7F7 Bb majorBb G+G
If you wanna make a young man happy one more time
C7C7 FF
I'd sure like to spend the night with you
Chorus:
FF Bb majorBb Gm7Gm7
And she said stranger "Shut out the light and lead me
C7C7 FF
Somewhere shut out the shadows too"
FF F7F7 Bb majorBb Gm7Gm7
And while we lay there making believe you love me
C7C7 FF
Stranger could I believe in you
#3:
FF F7F7 Bb majorBb
Maybe you got all you got together
C7C7 FF
And maybe you keep rolling like a stone
FF F7F7 Bb majorBb G+G
Maybe some old lonesome song'll take you by surprise
C7C7 FF
and leaving you a little more alone
Chorus:
FF Bb majorBb Gm7Gm7
And she said stranger "Shut out the light and lead me
C7C7 FF
Somewhere shut out the shadows too"

C7C7 FF
Stranger could I believe in you

Somewhere shut out the shadows too"
