Em

Is it a mean streak

C D

you'd swear you'd swear

Em

we never seen a stranger round here

C

is it the way the dust clings to the air

D Em

but you'd swear you'd swear

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

Em

Meanstreak

C D

you'd swear you'd swear

Em

we never seen a stranger round here

C

it's the way the dust clings to the air

A

after a stranger's been there

A

you'd swear 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

Em

A mean streak

C D

you'd swear you'd swear

Em

we never seen a stranger round here

C

it's the way the dust clings to the air

A

after a stranger's been there

A

you'd swear 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!!!
