    D                              D7
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

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

Knowing I had solved your little mystery

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

         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
       D              E7                   D
It's a strange day, a strange day over the hill


BRIDGE 2:
    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
