Verse 1
Em 
 (E minor) I seem to see this stranger
almost everywhere.
I do not wish to frighten you,
but you should know he's there.
So that if you're threatened,
if evil's ever done,
B 
you'll  (B major) know it's him who did it.
Em 
You'll know that he's the  (E minor) one.
His looks are ordinary,
but he does things in the dark.
He hides inside the shadows
watching children in the park.
He whispers things in subways,
you tremble with alarm
B 
I  (B major) tell you he will get to you,
Em 
he's out to do you  (E minor) harm
I've seen him in the headlines
C 
and  (C major) on the evening news
Em 
I saw  (E minor) him on the sidelines
C 
when stones  (C major) were thrown at Jews
Em 
And  (E minor) marching in Montgomery
pretending that he cared
C 
I saw  (C major) him wink,
Em 
as though some old conspiracy were  (E minor) shed.
He was in the crowd in Dallas,
C 
Em 
at the  (C major) close of Cam (E minor) elot.
I spotted him on campus,
C 
Em 
when the  (C major) students had been  (E minor) shot.
In an Oriental village,
with civilians left to rot,
Gm 
He was hanging  (G minor) out with soldiers,
trading heroin for pot,
Gdim 
Em 
and he was smiling, smiling.  (Gdim)  (E minor) 
Last night I found obscenities
scrawled across my wall.
I swear I can't repeat
the filthy words
that I recall.
And then the most immoral,
damned, insulting thing of all,
B 
as I  (B major) read each line,
I noticed his handwriting was
Em 
identical with mine.  (E minor)
