1. Found myself in a strange
town,
F
G
though
I've only been here for 3 weeks now.
C Am
I've got blisters on my feet,
F G
tryin' to find my way in Oxford Street.
C Am
2. I've bought an A to Z guide
book,
F G
tryin' to find the clubs and YMCA's,
C Am
but
when you ask in a strange town
F G
they
say, don't know, don't care and I've got to go, mate.
F G
They worry themselves about
feeling low,
F G
they
worry themselves about the dreadful snow.
F G
They all ignore me coz they
don't know,
F G
I'm really a spaceman from
those UFO's.
C Am
3. You've got to move in a
straight line,
F G
you've
got to walk and talk in 4 4 time.
C Am
You can't be weird in a
strange town,
F
G
you'll
be betrayed by your accent and manners.
C Am
4. You've got to wear the right
clothes,
F G
be
careful not to pick or scratch your nose.
C Am
You can't be nice in a strange
town
F G
coz
we don't know, don't care and we got to go, man.
F G
Rush my money to the record
shops,
F G
I stop off in a back street,
buy myself a snort.
F G
We got our own manifesto, we are kind to queers,
F G
and
I'm so glad the revolution’s here. It's nice and warm now !
+ C - Am - F - G (2x)
Dm G
I've finished with the clubs
where the music’s loud,
Dm G Em
coz I
don't see a face in a single crowd, there’s no one there.
Dm G
I look in the mirror, but I
can't be seen,
Dm G Em - Am
just
a thin clean layer of Mister Sheem looking back at
me.
G
Oh, oh.
+ C - Em - Am - G (3x)
