Eyes Of A Stranger - Payola$

No Stranger To Danger (1982)

A&M/Universal

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]

 
 e --4------4-4---4-4---4-4-4--4---4----(4)---if----(4)

 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.

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

( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_payolas/eyes_of_a_stranger_tab.html )

[C#m] [B] [A] [B]

 
 e ------------------------------------------------|

 D -----------6-6--4-2-------------4-4-------------| X2
 A ------2----4-4--2-0--------2----2-2-------------|

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---------------------------|
 D -----------6-6--4-2--|----------6-6-----4-----------4-4-----2-------|

 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
