Is it a [Em]mean streak
you'd [C]swear you'd swear[D]
we never seen a [Em]stranger round here
is it the way the dust c[C]lings to the air
but you'd [D]swear you'd swear[Em]

Is it a mean streak
a desolation sound
a copy of desire oh nothing's that far down
a mean streak on a western swing
on Tv saying the damnedest thing

Mean[Em]streak

you'd [C]swear you'd swear[D]
we never seen a [Em]stranger round here
it's the way the dust cl[C]ings to the air
after a [A]stranger's been there
you'd s[A]wear you'd swear

[Em] [C] [D] [Em]

Is it a mean streak
to a certain degree
come whistlin down the crookedist street
a mean streak in the ghost state
between the certain and the hesititing

A mea[Em]n streak

you'd [C]swear you'd swear[D]
we never seen a [Em]stranger round here
it's the way the dust cl[C]ings to the air
after a [A]stranger's been there
you'd s[A]wear you'd swear

[C]was that you there?
[A]that was you there
[C]was that you there?
[A]that was you there

(I'm not sure about this last bit)

The ssh sound of the bottoms of their boots
on the tops of the grass
as their haywagon
rolled past
and I'd swear I's swear
the way the dust clings to the air
after the stranger's been there
I'd swear I'd swear
that that was you there

Gambatte Kudasai!!!
