CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
  G    C(6x)
[Verse 1]
GWalking down the streets with the Cgovernment
Passed the GSisters of Mercy and the Ctenement
Well, I Gneed a good time just to Cget myself in line
I got Amtime on my hands to be D7spent
[Verse 2]
So, I Gslip and slide us to a Csleazy bar
See my Gfriends, shake their hands, ask them Chow they are
But they're Gtalking to drones, so I Cturn around and go
Get Amsplashed by a passing Dcar
[Chorus]
Hey, isn't it Gstrange___ how it Call falls into place someAtimes
Isn't it D7all so perfectly diGvine
[Instrumental]
G  C  G  C  G  C  G  C
[Verse 3]
Well, I Gdragged my aching feet aCround the back
I Gbump into a very Cspecial friend  
And in Gno time at all, I'm Cstalking down the wall
The Amboy have no lick of Dsense
[Verse 4]
Well, I Gmake it back home withCout a fall
GLay back laughing on the Ckitchen wall
GLooking at the wife, she Cfinally said, "Enough!"
I Amwonder at the beauty of it Dall
[Chorus]
Isn't it Gstrange___ how it Call falls into place someAtimes
Isn't it D7all so perfectly diGvine
[Instrumental]
G  C  G  C  G  C  G  C
[Verse 5]
And in the Gcold, cold morning of the Cfollowing day
I'm in Gbed and waiting for the Cbreakfast tray
But Gall I find instead, is a Cmessage by the bed
Saying, "AmGoodbye, baby, I'm aDway"
[Verse 6]
So I Gslipped out of bed, put the Cradio on
An GEnglish cup of tea and some Cfried bacon
GLooking at that rain, I'm Ctrying not to complain
About the Amstrangest going on and on and Don
[Chorus]
Isn't it Gstrange___ how it Call falls into place someAtimes
Isn't it D7all so perfectly 
[Chorus]
GStrange___ how it Call falls into place someAtimes
Isn't it D7all so perfectly
[Chorus]
GStrange___ how it Call falls into place someAtimes
Isn't it D7all so perfectly Gstrange
