Intro:  G5

G5                            C5              G5     
When you're tired and you're far, far, far, from home
G5                         C5        G5
When you're lost and you're on your own
G5                    C5             G5    C5
When the fog comes a swirling, swirling 'round you
E5             G5             C5     A5    C5
Mmm , 'til you can't see the path before you
C5                       D5             G5
You should know of the strangest thing

G5                      C5         G5     C5
You come down like the silent, silent snow
G5                       A5            C5   G5    C5
'Til your mind feels as numb as your fingers
G5                 C5             G5     C5
It was many, many, many, many years ago
E5      G5        C5  A5   C5   D5
On the coast of Gondwanaland

        G5             C5        G5        C5
No one heard for the howling, howling wind
       A5               C5             A5         C5
No one heard when they whispered the strangest thing
       G5            C5         G5        C5
No one saw for the stinging, stinging rain
A5      C5    A5         
No one saw... 
        D5        G5
...The strangest thing

G5                   C5   G5      C5
Saw you slip on the icy, icy street
G5                A5     C5   G5   C5
And I smiled accidentally
G5                   C5               G5   C5
And you swore at the ice and you swore at me
E5      G5            C5     A5   C5
And my heart melted instantly
C5                     D5
In the warmth of the strangest thing

A5  D5  G5 (x2)
A5  D5  G5  D5  E5  D5
C5   D5

A5      D5        G5
So I'm holding a torch up high for you
A5      D5            G5
And the batteries are all brand new
A5  D5  G5  D5  E5  D5
     C5                 D5
But I'm scared they'll wear right through
        C5          D5
Before you see me shining for you
       A5       D5
Before I can discover who
     A5  C5    A5 
Can show me... 
       D5        G5    C5
...the strangest thing

G5  C5  A5  C5  A5  C5

        G5             C5        G5        C5
No one heard for the howling, howling wind
       A5               C5             A5         C5
No one heard when they whispered the strangest thing
       G5            C5         G5        C5
No one saw for the stinging, stinging rain
A5      C5    A5         
No one saw... 
        D5        G5    C5
...The strangest thing

G5  C5  A5  C5  A5  D5
