Something strange


11/4 time for part 1

(D        twiddle                               D   bass run c     b  a) (D  twiddle                               D   bass run c     b  a)
            Something strange happened to me at the weekend
            Something I’m finding quite hard to explain
            Something most peculiar happened at the weekend
(D        twiddle    D   bass run c  b  a#) A into ¾ time
            Let me recall as I think on her name

Something strange happened to me at the weekend

Logic and consequence went to the wall
The ground at my feet opened up at the weekend

Feeling like Alice starting to fall


¾ |A    |AD A|C          |G        |xN

                               

No choice to fight                   my mind took flight

Catching alight                        flaming and bright

Did it feel right?                     why, yes it did, quite
Was it insight?                                    Perhaps it might be


|F#m    |C#m    ||F#m   |C#m    |G#m   |G#      |A        |…merge to 5/4 then back to 11/4

Messing around with my head

Conquered and left out for dead

Yet as far as I know not a single word was said…

 

|…merge to 5/4 then back to 11/4

 

Something strange happened to me at the weekend
Altered the shape of the future to come

Swept up and dashed on the rocks at the weekend

Is she aware of the damage she’s done?
