[Intro] Em C D Em x 2 [Verse 1]
        Em                 C
Is it a mean streak? You'd swear, you'd swear

D                   Em
  We'd never seen a stranger 'round here

Em                        C
   Is it the way the dust clings to the air?

          D               Em
But you'd swear, you'd swear
[Verse 2]
        Em                 C
Is it a mean streak? A desolation sound

D                      Em
  A copy of desire, oh nothing's that far down

Em                    C
   A mean streak on a western swing

D                  Em           C
  On TV saying the damnedest things
[Chorus]
                    C
A meanstreak, you'd swear, you'd swear

Em
   We'd never seen a stranger round here

C
  It's the way the dust clings to the air

        G          Em         G Em
After a stranger's been there

      G            Em    G Em
You'd swear, you'd swear
[Interlude]
         Em        C D Em
Was that you there?
[Verse 3]
        Em                C
Is it a mean streak? To a certain degree

D                             Em
  You come whistling down the crookedest street

              C
A mean streak in the ghost state

D                             Em    C
  Between the certain and the hesitating
[Chorus]
                    C
A meanstreak, you'd swear, you'd swear

Em
   We never seen a stranger round here

C
  It's the way the dust clings to the air

        G          Em        G Em
After a stranger's been here

      G            Em    G Em
You'd swear, you'd swear
[Bridge 1]
         C
Was that you there?

             Em
That was you there

         C
Was that you there?

             G  Em G Em
That was you there
[Interlude] G Em G Em [Bridge 2]
    F#                                    C
The shh-shh sound of the bottoms of their boots

                   Em
On the tops of the grass

                         C Em
As their haywagon rolled past
[Outro]
        G          Em    G Em
And I'd swear, I'd swear

G             Em   G             Em
  The way the dust clings to the air

          G          Em        G Em G Em
After the stranger's been here

    G          Em
I'd swear, I'd swear

C                   Em    G Em
  That that was you there
