Standard (EADGBE)

He's the perfect stranger like a cross of himself and a fox.

He's a feeling arranger and a changer of the way he talks.

He's the unforeseen danger and the keeper of the key to the locks.

Know when you see him, nothing can free him.

Step aside, open wide, it's the loner.

If you see him in the subway, he'll be down at the end of the car,

Watching you move until he knows, he knows who you are.

When you get off at the station alone, he'll know that you are.

Know when you see him, nothing can free him.

Step aside, open wide, it's the loner.

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.

Know when you see him, nothing can free him.

Step aside, open wide, it's the loner.

THE LONER- Neil Young

 He's the perfect stranger like a cross of himself and a fox

 He's a feeling arranger and a changer of the way he talks

 He's the unforeseen danger and the keeper of the key to the locks

Chorus

 Know when you see him, nothing can free him

 Step aside, open wide, it's the loner

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

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
