[Instrumental]
F-C-Eb-Db-C-Db-Ab
[Verse 1]
F C
Licorice and nuts
Eb
There are no ifs and
Db C
There aren’t any buts
Db Ab
He was just there
Db Ab
He was just standing there
F C
He was on an island
Eb Db C
In the North Atlantic Ocean
Db Ab
Just minding his own
Db Ab
He was just doing his thing
F#
And in that moment
Db Ab
Everything changed
[Chorus 1]
Bbm
Is he strange
Eb Ab
Or is it you, who never
Db
Saw the light?
Bbm Eb
Decades of everything wrong
Ab
Give way to everything right
Db C
But that don’t mean that it will stick
Fm Eb Ab
He’s not some flower you can pick
[Verse 2]
F C
Purples, reds and blues
Eb
You act like you have
Db C
Never read the news
Db Ab
Now you must choose
Db Ab
What are you going to do?
F C
It’s just good to know that
Eb Db
You can love while you are
C Db Ab
Letting go, look at the snow
Db Ab
Look at it swirl and blow
F#
And you never thought
Db Ab
That tree would grow
[Chorus 2]
Bbm
Is he strange
Eb Ab
Or is it you, who never
Db
Saw the light?
Bbm Eb
Decades of everything wrong
Ab
Give way to everything right
Db C
But that don’t mean that it will stick
Fm Eb Ab
He’s not some flower you can pick
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
F C
Brown Norwegian cheese
Eb Db
Don’t worry who you do
C Db
And do not please
Ab
At the very least
Db Ab
You’ve got other dead horses to beat
F C
You can’t win or lose
Eb Db
You simply are and that’s how
C Db
He is too, and you’re never
Ab Db
Through, nobody said that
Ab
It would be smooth
F#
Now close your eyes
Db Ab
And concentrate on this groove
[Chorus 3]
Bbm
Is he strange
Eb Ab
Or is it you, who never
Db
Saw the light?
Bbm Eb
Decades of everything wrong
Ab Db
Give way to everything right
Bbm Eb
Baby you’re not strange
Ab
You are the only one
Db
Who’s ever been right
Bbm Eb
I’m just sorry that I let you down
Ab
And that’s what keeps me up at night
(not just the Common Snipe)
Db C
And I only hope that you can see
Fm Eb
That you’ve transformed
Ab
This heart inside of me
