The sky was like a crystal, it was sapphire blue
G            E7
I was like a kid again, so were you
    D       E7          A
It's a strange day, a strange day over the hill


  D                D7
The sun came round to polish up the copper beech
  G                   E7
The leaves were black as leather where the sun don't reach

Knowing I had solved your little mystery

     D               D7
We could hear the distant compromise of wedding bells
   G               E7
As we leaned on one another, bidding fond farewells
    D       E7          A
It's a strange day, a strange day over the hill


   D             D7
As we drove into the valley, the mist rolled down
    G            E7
We were in the grip of winter in our own home town

It's a strange day, a strange day over the hill

  G          G6       F#
The lights were shining brightly in the house across the street
   Bm              E
I was looking for adventure, I was turning on the heat
 G        G6       F#
I shivered in the shadows, it was cold as hell
  Bm                E
The church bell sounded seven, going, well, well, well
    D       E7          D   A
It's a strange day, a strange day over the hill
    D       E7          D   A
It's a strange day, a strange day over the hill
    D       E7          D   A
It's a strange day, a strange day over the hill
