Strawbs - Strange Day Over The Hill
INTRO: D G D E7 D E7 D E7
D G D E7 D E7 D A
D D7
The sky was like a crystal, it was sapphire blue
G E7
I was like a kid again, so were you
D E7 A
It's a strange day, a strange day over the hill
D D7
The sun came round to polish up the copper beech
G E7
The leaves were black as leather where the sun don't reach
D E7 D
It's a strange day, a strange day over the hill
BRIDGE 1:
G G6 F#
I was close enough to heaven, as a man could be
Bm E
Knowing I had solved your little mystery
D E7 D
It's a strange day, a strange day over the hill
INSTRUMENTAL: A D G E D E7 D E7 D G E D E7 D A
D D7
We could hear the distant compromise of wedding bells
G E7
As we leaned on one another, bidding fond farewells
D E7 A
It's a strange day, a strange day over the hill
D D7
As we drove into the valley, the mist rolled down
G E7
We were in the grip of winter in our own home town
D E7 D
It's a strange day, a strange day over the hill
BRIDGE 2:
G G6 F#
The lights were shining brightly in the house across the street
Bm E
I was looking for adventure, I was turning on the heat
G G6 F#
I shivered in the shadows, it was cold as hell
Bm E
The church bell sounded seven, going, well, well, well
D E7 D A
It's a strange day, a strange day over the hill
D E7 D A
It's a strange day, a strange day over the hill
D E7 D A
It's a strange day, a strange day over the hill
