Strum
D-DU-UDU
  Verse 1
Strange  way  to start  a revolution
 Strange way to get a better tan
 Strange way to hold a power breakfast
 Strange way show your business plan
 Strange way to test if wood would splinter
 Strange way to do performance art
 Strange way to say "I'll see you later"
 Strange way to leave behind your heart
  Chorus 1
Strange  dissident of meekness
 And nurse  of tangled souls
 It's so  unlike the holy
 To end  up full  of holes,  it's a strange way
  Verse 2
Strange way  to hang  around for hours
 Strange way to imitate a kite
 Strange way to get a view of Auschwitz
 Strange way to represent the light
 Strange way to watch for stormy weather
 Strange way to disprove gravity
 Strange way to go about fund-raising
 Strange way to sing I'm liberty
  Chorus 2
Strange  dissident of meekness
 And nurse  of tangled souls
 It's so  unlike the holy
 To end  up full  of holes,  it's a strange way
  Verse 3
Strange  way  to test  for haemophillia
 Strange way to spend a happy hour
 Strange way to down a bitter cocktail
 Strange way to merchandise your power
 Strange way to reassure your mother
 That's a strange way to finish your world tour
 Strange way to pose for countless paintings
 And what a ridiculous way to gather in the poor
  Chorus 3
Strange  dissident of meekness
 And nurse  of tangled souls
 It's so  unlike the holy
 To end  up full  of holes
  Bridge
 Yeah this world  is too much with  us now
 Could we not  now just elope?
 Strange way  to hold us closer
 Strange way  to give  us hope,  it's a strange way
  Outro
 Strange way
 What a ridiculous  way
 Hold on the last Em7, then end on a G, and that's all :)
