Lyrics:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/p/presidents_of_the_usa/stranger_tab_ver_2.html ]
You lynard skynard hat
And me little kitty
Sat across with a velvet jacket
Wild orange hair and dark dark eyes
I gawked like a 12 year old smitten
Carla the stripper straight from LA
You seem cool for a naked chick in a booth
Let's be pals someday in other words
Put some clothes on and call me
I saw you it was incredible
Slim relaxed buyin' wine at the QFC
On a snowy saturday night
Black pearls and I swear you were drinking beer
You were the redhead behind the counter there
I'm the one who fell out of his chair there
You had your dry cleaning and I think you're dreamy
I saw you it was incredible
Mumbled these words at you unintelligible
Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma
Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma
Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma
Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma
Ma ma ma ma ma ma hey you there what time is it
Notes:
This is arranged to be played with drop-D tuning so you don't have to go
through the trouble of retuning your guitar. There's another tab on this
site that seems to be rated well but it's in weird tuning and I don't have
time for that. As a result the bassline part doesn't sound as low as it
should but I think it's okay. The solo bit sounds okay although there may be
a mistake toward the end of the riff (again, sounds okay to me). Have fun!
