Strange Magic Tabs

(ver. 2)
Electric Light Orchestra
“Strange Magic”
 ELO

This song (Im fairly certain) is played with a slide, so I have tabbed 
it out in open G. I have also tabbed the chords out, and if you dont 
want to play slide you can just play it with one finger, in any case 
it is certainly more right than the other versions on here.

  G             G+                 G 
You're sailing softly through the sun
      G+               G
in a broken stone age dawn
     G+     Em
You fly so high.

                Dm7    Em
      I get a strange magic,
                   Dm7    Em
      oh, what a strange magic,
                   Dm7    Em
      oh, it's a strange magic 
            Am7  D7  G
      Got a strange magic,
            Am7  D7  G       Cm
      got a strange magic.

You're walking meadows in my mind,
making waves across my time,
oh no, oh no.

      I get a strange magic,
      oh, what a strange magic,
      oh, it's a strange magic.
      Got a strange magic,
      got a strange magic.

Oh, I'm never gonna be the same again,
now I've seen the way it's got to end,
sweet dream, sweet dream.

      Strange magic,
      oh, what a strange magic,
      oh, it's a strange magic.
      Got a strange magic,
      got a strange magic.

    G         G+         Em           G+
   It's magic, it's magic, it's magic.
