Gm I was born into confusion My mother said to me When you become a man you'll understand Am But it's still a mystery Gm And if you want to get ahead Get some decent clothes The only way to make it Am Dress the part that gets right up my nose Chorus: A# And I think to myself in this river of doubt Dm This is something I can do without F Gm But, strange ways is what I got Strange ways The Indians are coming I saw it on TV They're twenty thousand strong But they always get depleted by the cavalry Salvation is at hand It's guaranteed Just send a donation straight to God One eight hundred, toll free Chorus: And I think to myself in this academy of fear Where am I going, what am I doing here? But strange ways is all I got Strange ways Have you seen the headlines? Princess engaged Three million out of work But that's on the second page The alien has landed Finger in his ear Can't hear a word I am saying But that isn't such a bad idea Chorus: And I think to myself in this cradle of lust Ashes to ashes and dust to dust But strange ways is all you get Strange ways You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  A#  Dm  F  Gm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
