This is the basic lick. Note that there's no pick
involved and all bass stuff (Low E and A strings) is
done with the thumb, and all other stuff is either picked
simultaneously with the fingers, or down strummed with
the fingernails. (Not all the notes are here - it's
strickly a feel thing, and I had no idea someone would
ever request this song - I thought I was the only one
who loved this song, so I came to work unprepared.)
First verse:
E F#m7 C#m7 F#m7 G#m7 F#m7 B A
I must be, invisi--ble. No one knows me.
E F#m7 C#m7 F#m7 D A E
I have crawled down dead-end streets on my hands and knees.
On E here, go to "intro-lick", twice.
Second verse:
I was born with a raging thirst, Hunger to be free
But I've learned thru the years, Don't encourage me
On E here, go to "intro-lick" ONCE and then right to
Chorus:
E F#m7 B C#m7
Cause I'm a lonely stranger here
F#m7 G#m7 C#m7 E7 (C#m7 and E7 are packed in one measure.)
well be----yond my da---ys (No clue on the words here.)
A7 A7Dim E F#m7
I don't know what's going on so
D A E
I'll be on my way *** 4x
Third Verse
When I walk, stay behind.Don't get close to me.
Cause it's sure to end in tears. So let me leave
4th Verse
Some will say I may agree take a look then walk away
Cause thats alright with me
Chorus:
*** On E here, "intro-lick" again, this time 4 times I don't know.
(I'm getting tired, so briefly, it's 2 more verses just the
same as before, and then the same chorus, followed by - you
guessed it - the "intro-lick" out to the end, which, I believe,
is solo'd over using the E minor pentatonic scale, but, knowing
EC, he probably uses some "tasty" notes along the way.)
