Funny Ways
guitar tabs lyrics
HELLO, I HOPE YOU LIKE THIS TAB OF A SONG FROM MY FAVORITE GROUP WHICH I FIRST HEARD
ON THE ALBUM "PLAYING THE FOOL" IN 1980. FOR THE MOMENT A PART IS MISSING WHICH IS
WHEN THEY SING "GO YOUR OWN WAY OR WAIT FOR ME..." WHERE I THINK THEY PLAY FIRST D, B, A,
FOUR TIMES, AND THEN D, A, B TWICE. THEN D#, A#, C ALSO TWICE AND THEN D ONCE BEFORE GOING
BACK TO THE INTRO LICK Emadd9, Cmaj7/E, ETC...HERE THE XYLOPHONE SOLO BEGINS. THEN COME
THE FINAL LYRICS (AND SO YOU SEE.....). DURING THE XYLOPHONE SOLO PLAY THE INTRO PART.
HOPEFULLY SOON I WILL COMPLETE THE TAB. EK ONG KARR, SAT NAM!

CHANGE, THEY STAY STRANGE WAYS
I'm sorry to have been so much of a bore
But in my own funny way I find I learn much more.
I realise what you think from your eyes,
But in your own funny ways I find I learn much more.
My ways are strange
They'll never change
They stay, strange ways
I'm sorry to have been so close from the start,
But for all that I cared we could be miles apart.
I understood that you never would
Understand a way of life that I never could.
My ways are strange
They'll never change
They stay, strange ways
Go your own way or wait for me
Go your own way or wait for me
Go your own way or wait for me
Go your own way or wait for me
And so you see what happened to me
Since the time when I judged my life in nights and days
I realised that my life was lies
So you see what I mean with all my funny ways.
I'm sorry to have been so much of a bore
But in my own funny way I find I learn much more
Funny ways, Funny ways, Funny ways, Funny ways.
