[Verse]
 
A
Take my chances, rather go to jail
             G         C              A
Than see the eyes of a coward runnin' loose and well
A
He don't care, he couldn't give a damn
  C             G              A
Deprived of his victim, he's a ruthless man
   A
He waits in the shadows 'til the man is gone
   G            C               A
He moves to the door, now she's all alone
A
Far as you could see, that's her only way
    G             C                 E
She fears for her life and what her family would say
 
 
[Chorus]
 
A         D         C
Back door stranger
                    G
A fair warning he's out tonight
A           D         C
A back door stranger
                         G
We gotta stop him if the chance is right
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
    A
You read in the paper, most any day
G               C                A
'Bout back door stranger and his evil ways
    A
The law can't judge because he pleads insane
       C           G             A
It's a sign of the times that we got to change
    A
You ask my opinion, he ain't half a man
        G         C              A
He's as cold as a snake about to strike again
       A
It's a slap in the face that we tolerate
    G             C     E
The pain that he causes worries us grey
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
A         D         C
Back door stranger
                    G
A fair warning he's out tonight
A           D         C
A back door stranger
                         G
We gotta stop him if the chance is right

[Verse 3]
 
A
Take my chances, rather go to jail
             G         C              A
Than see the eyes of a coward runnin' loose and well
A
He don't care, he couldn't give a damn
  C             G              A
Deprived of his victim, he's a ruthless man
    A
You ask my opinion, got to make a stand
        G         C              A
He's as cold as a snake about to strike again
       A
It's a slap in the face that we tolerate
    G             C     E
The pain that he causes worries us grey
 
 
[Chorus 3]
 
A         D         C
Back door stranger
                    G
A fair warning he's out tonight
A           D         C
A back door stranger
                         G
We gotta stop him if the chance is right
A         D         C
Back door stranger
                    G
A fair warning he's out tonight
A           D         C
A back door stranger
                         G
We gotta stop him if the chance is right
