Eyes Of A Stranger - Payola$
No Stranger To Danger (1982)
A&M/Universal
 
Intro:
C#m      B6
C#m      B6   G#m
 
1.) Verse:
C#m    B6    G# min7 (Repeated)
Prominent Bass Line through Verse:
Through C# Minor:       Through G# Minor:
G|------------------|   |------------------|
D|------------------|   |------------------|
A|------2----4-4----|   |------2-4---2-2---|
E|--2-4---4---------|   |--2-4-------------|
Instead of the bass going down to the fourth
fret on the bottom string to play the root
of the G# Minor, it stays on the second fret
of the A string and sits on the minor 3rd, B.
 
Prominent Guiar Line through Verse:
"Clean" guitar with atmosphere effects
   C#m                       B6  G#m7

A|----------------------------2---2----(2)---it----(6)
E|--------------------------------4----(4)---reach-(7)
 
I think I've seen Bob Rock voice the seventh fret on the
heavy E string with the fourth fret barred and the
sixth frets on the A and D depressed, but not exclusively.
 
2.) Chorus:
C#m    G#m    F#     E
C#m    B6     F#     G#m

Slightly driven Lead Guitar, through Bridge section
The minor on the C#m for the lead parts is just implied,
I don't bother fretting the minor thirds when doing the
driven guitars
 
              C#m  B A              B
e|------------------------------------------------|

The third time this is done, Bob Rock adds a little tritone (b5) bit:
 
e|------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------|
G|-----------6-6--4-2-------------4-4-----4-------|
D|-----------6-6--4-2-------------4-4------3------|
A|------2----4-4--2-0--------2----2-2-------2-----|
E|--2-4---4--------------2-4---4------------------|
 
The fourth time through the bridge, they don't go back up to
the B, they just go down to the A, cut it short, and then back
to the Chorus:
 
  [End of Bridge-----] |[Start of Chorus-----------------------------|
e|---------------------|----------------------------------------------|
b|---------------------|----------------------------------------------|
G|-----------6-6--4-2--|----------6-6-----4---------------------------|

E|--2-4---4------------|-2-4---4-------------2-4---4--2-2--4--0-------|
 
Feel free to hammer on and pull off on those riffs, such as:
e|-----------|
B|-----------|
G|-----------|
D|-----------|
A|------2----|
E|--2h4---4--|
 
Or alternate pick them for clarity--really depends on your setup.

5.)  Lyrics
 
Can I touch you to see if you're real?
Is it nothing this something I feel?
Can my heart take the strain?
Or will it break down again?
 
In your lips I sense a danger
You've got the eyes of a stranger
 
Have I been sleeping for all these years?
Is it magic that makes you appear?
When you walked in the room I felt my heart race
But knew I'd been fooled when I looked at your face
 
In your lips I sense a danger
You've got the eyes of a stranger
In your lips I see a danger
You've got the eyes of a stranger
 
In your lips I sense a danger
You've got the eyes of a stranger
In your lips I see a danger
You've got the eyes of a stranger
 
* - It seems that all the lyric engines on the internet
are reporting the second verse incorrectly.  As far as I
know, what I've got here is correct.
 
Awesome song from an awesome band.  the_boy_of_a_thousand_shirts@yahoo.com
