Album: Isolation (1984) [Intro] G#m [Verse 1]
A                   B/A      C#m/A
 I remember it was late one night

        A     B/A  C#m/A
In the middle of a dream

A             B/A      C#m/A
 Woke up in a pool of sweat

A          B       C#m
Thought I heard a scream

A                 B/A   C#m/A
 Ran over to the window sill

          A       B/A   C#m/A
Stuck my head out for a peek

             A                B/A        C#m/A
Dressed in black was a man I didn't recognize

 A       B   C#m        D
Running down my back street

                    C#m
My heart skipped a beat
[Chorus]
     E            A
You better watch out

  C#m               B
There's a stranger in town

     E            A
You better watch out

  C#m               B
There's a stranger in town

     E            A
You better watch out

 C#m            D
When he comes around

              C#m
Don't make a sound
[Interlude] G#m [Verse 2]
         A                     B/A      C#m/A
Got the morning paper and the headlines read:

 A     B/A     C#m/A
Danger to the queen

 A                        B/A           C#m/A
Buckingham Palace better tighten things up

     A        B        C#m
The son of a bitch is mean

 A                          B/A        C#m/A
Vendors on the corner just doin' their job

A            B/A      C#m/A
Acting like nothing's new

  A                    B/A        C#m/A
Scotland Yard's still looking for him

        A       B       C#m     D
But he doesn't leave a single clue

              C#m
What can they do?
[Chorus]
            E            A
(Hey!) You better watch out

  C#m               B
There's a stranger in town

     E            A
You better watch out

  C#m               B
There's a stranger in town

     E            A
You better watch out

 C#m            D
When he comes around

              C#m
Don't make a sound
[Instrumental] G#m [Verse 3]
 A                      B/A        C#m/A
Who's this man who fell out of the sky?

           A        B/A        C#m/A
What's he done and where's he live?

 A                      B/A C#m/A
How can a man who's a criminal

      A    B      C#m
Be a hero to the kids?

    A                          B/A     C#m/A
The old couple swear that the Ripper's back

      A       B/A     C#m/A
They say it's him all right

     A                   B/A C#m/A
The young girl says it's Je - sus

        A        B     C#m    D
And he won't be back again tonight

                C#m
I wonder who's right
[Chorus]

You better watch out
