Intro: G
G Cmaj7/G G
When you're tired and you're far, far, far, from home
G Cmaj7/G G
When you're lost and you're on your own
G Cmaj7/G G Cmaj7/G
When the fog comes a swirling, swirling 'round you
Em G C Am C
Mmm, 'til you can't see the path before you
C D7 G
You should know of the strangest thing
G Cmaj7/G G Cmaj7/G
You come down like the silent, silent snow
G Am C G Cmaj7/G
'Til your mind feels as numb as your fingers
G Cmaj7/G G Cmaj7/G
It was many, many, many, many years ago
Em G Cmaj7/G Am C D7
On the coast of Gondwanaland
G C G C
No one heard for the howling, howling wind
Am C Am C
No one heard when they whispered the strangest thing
G C G C
No one saw for the stinging, stinging rain
Am C Am
No one saw...
D7 G
...The strangest thing
G Cmaj7/G G C/G
Saw you slip on the icy, icy street
G Am C G Cmaj7/G
And I smiled accidentally
G Cmaj7/G G Cmaj7/G
And you swore at the ice and you swore at me
Em G C Am C
And my heart melted instantly
C D7
In the warmth of the strangest thing
Am D7 G (x2)
Am D7 G D7/F# Em D
C D7
Am D7 G
So I'm holding a torch up high for you
Am D7 G
And the batteries are all brand new
Am D7 G D7/F# Em D
C D7
But I'm scared they'll wear right through
C D7
Before you see me shining for you
Am D7
Before I can discover who
Am C Am
Can show me...
D7 G Cmaj7/G
...the strangest thing
G C Am C Am C
G C G C
No one heard for the howling, howling wind
Am C Am C
No one heard when they whispered the strangest thing
G C G C
No one saw for the stinging, stinging rain
Am C Am
No one saw...
D7 G Cmaj7/G
...The strangest thing
G C Am C Am D7
