Biography:
Martyn Joseph (born July 15, 1960, in Penarth, Wales) is a Welsh singer-songwriter whose music primarily blends Celtic and folk, while his songwriting often focuses on social protest.
At first glance Martyn Joseph is (just) another gifted singer songwriter. First impressions are there to mislead of course: Joseph's ambition is broader than entertainment, deeper than commerce. Some musicians want to move your feet, some just want to move you: Martyn Joseph wants to move heaven and earth.

Strange Way Chords - Martyn Joseph
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Rhys.J

Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
This song sounds great when played acoustically. There are a lot of little
riffs he plays in the original which I haven't tabbed, but most are
easy enough to figure out.
Intro - Cadd9 G Em7 G
Verse 1
Cadd9 G Em7 G
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
B7 Em7
Strange dissident of meekness
Cmaj7 Gmaj7
And nurse of tangled souls
B7 Cmaj7
It's so unlike the holy
Am7 Am7/G D
To end up full of holes, it's a strange way
Intro - Cadd9 G Em7 G
Verse 2
Cadd9 G Em7 G
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
B7 Em7
Strange dissident of meekness
Cmaj7 Gmaj7
And nurse of tangled souls
B7 Cmaj7
It's so unlike the holy
Am7 Am7/G D
To end up full of holes, it's a strange way
Intro - Cadd9 G Em7 G
Verse 3
Cadd9 G Em7 G
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
B7 Em7
Strange dissident of meekness
Cmaj7 Gmaj7
And nurse of tangled souls
B7 Cmaj7
It's so unlike the holy
Am7 Am7/G D7
To end up full of holes
Bridge
B7 Em
Yeah this world is too much with us now
C Gmaj7
Could we not now just elope?
B7 Cmaj7
Strange way to hold us closer
Am7 Am7/G D7
Strange way to give us hope, it's a strange way
Outro
Cadd9 G Em7 G
Strange way
Cadd9 G Em7 G
What a ridiculous way
Hold on the last Em7, then end on a G, and that's all :)
