INTRO:  D   G   D    E7   D    E7   D   E7  
       D G D E7  D E7  D A
The Dsky was like a crystal, it was D7sapphire blue
GI was like a kid again, E7so were you
It's a Dstrange day, a E7strange day over the Ahill
The Dsun came round to polish up the D7copper beech
The Gleaves were black as leather where the E7sun don't reach
It's a Dstrange day, a E7strange day over the Dhill
BRIDGE 1:
I was Gclose enough to G6heaven, as a F#man could be
BmKnowing I had solved your little Emystery
It's a Dstrange day, a E7strange day over the Dhill
INSTRUMENTAL:   A    D   G   E   D   E7   D   E7    D   G   E   D   E7   D  A  
We could Dhear the distant compromise of D7wedding bells
As we Gleaned on one another, bidding E7fond farewells
It's a Dstrange day, a E7strange day over the Ahill
As we Ddrove into the valley, the D7mist rolled down
We were Gin the grip of winter in E7our own home town
It's a Dstrange day, a E7strange day over the Dhill
BRIDGE 2:
The Glights were shining G6brightly in the F#house across the street
I was Bmlooking for adventure, I was Eturning on the heat
I Gshivered in the G6shadows, it was F#cold as hell
The Bmchurch bell sounded seven, going, Ewell, well, well
It's a Dstrange day, a E7strange day over the DhillA  
It's a Dstrange day, a E7strange day over the DhillA  
It's a Dstrange day, a E7strange day over the DhillA
