[Verse 1]
F            CLicorice and nuts
EbThere are no ifs and
Db           CThere aren’t any buts
Db          AbHe was just there
Db                  AbHe was just standing there
F            CHe was on an island
Eb           Db       CIn the North Atlantic Ocean
Db          AbJust minding his own
Db                  AbHe was just doing his thing
F#And in that moment
Db        AbEverything changed

[Chorus 1]
BbmIs he strange
Eb            AbOr is it you, who never
DbSaw the light?
Bbm                  EbDecades of everything wrong
AbGive way to everything right
Db             CBut that don’t mean that it will stick
Fm            Eb             AbHe’s not some flower you can pick

[Verse 2]
F            CPurples, reds and blues
EbYou act like you have
Db           CNever read the news
Db          AbNow you must choose
Db                  AbWhat are you going to do?
F            CIt’s just good to know that
Eb                 Db           You can love while you are
C         Db                AbLetting go, look at the snow
Db                  AbLook at it swirl and blow
F#And you never thought
Db              AbThat tree would grow

[Chorus 2]
BbmIs he strange
Eb            AbOr is it you, who never
DbSaw the light?
Bbm                  EbDecades of everything wrong
AbGive way to everything right
Db             CBut that don’t mean that it will stick
Fm            Eb             AbHe’s not some flower you can pick

[Verse 3]
F            CBrown Norwegian cheese
Eb                  Db  Don’t worry who you do
C          Db And do not please
            AbAt the very least
Db                              AbYou’ve got other dead horses to beat
F            CYou can’t win or lose
Eb                  Db You simply are and that’s how
C          Db He is too, and you’re never
Ab       DbThrough, nobody said that
            AbIt would be smooth
F#Now close your eyes
   Db                  AbAnd concentrate on this groove

[Chorus 3]
BbmIs he strange
Eb            AbOr is it you, who never
DbSaw the light?
Bbm                  EbDecades of everything wrong
Ab                    DbGive way to everything right
Bbm             EbBaby you’re not strange
            AbYou are the only one
            DbWho’s ever been right
Bbm                    EbI’m just sorry that I let you down
           AbAnd that’s what keeps me up at night
(not just the Common Snipe)
Db         CAnd I only hope that you can see
Fm                 EbThat you’ve transformed
               AbThis heart inside of me
