D  A  E  X2
oo-oo-oo

[Chorus]
  E         D    A    E         D  A  E
Beware of a tall dark stranger  oo-oo-oo
      E            D    A    E    D  A  E
If he comes riding into your town oo-oo-oo
  E         D    A      E
A tall dark stranger is danger (danger)
   A            B7              E
So don’t let no strangers hang around

[Verse 1] 
           A           D          A
For he can capture the heart of a woman
         A               D              A
With one glance from his flashing brown eyes
       F#m                       D
Like a bolt from the blue he can steal her from you
          G                  B7
Then jump up on his pony and ride  ride  ride 
 
[Chorus]
     E         D    A    E         D  A  E
Oh beware of a tall dark stranger oo-oo-oo
      E            D    A    E    D  A  E
If he comes riding into your town oo-oo-oo
  E         D    A      E
A tall dark stranger is danger (danger)
   A            B7              E
So don’t let no strangers hang around

[Instrumental] 

A  B  E

[Verse 2]
           A         D             A
They say a tall dark stranger is a demon
           A           D              A
And that a devil rides closely by his side
        F#m                          D
With no warning he can strike like a thief in the night
          G                  B7
Then jump up on his pony and ride  ride  ride
 
[Chorus]
     E         D    A    E         D  A  E
So beware of a tall dark stranger  oo-oo-oo
                   D    A    E    D  A  E
If he comes riding into your town oo-oo-oo
  E         D    A      E
A tall dark stranger is danger (danger)
   A            B7              E
So don’t let no strangers hang around

[Outro]
  A            B7              E
So don’t let no strangers hang around
D  A  E
oo-oo-oo
D  A  E
oo-oo-oo
D  A  E
oo-oo-oo
