VERSE1:
Chords:
C   x32010    F x33211
Am  x02210    G 320033

C                   Am
  Found myself in a strange town
F                       G
  'Though I'd only been here for three weeks now
C                      Am      
  I've got blisters on my feet, 
F                            G
  Trying to find a friend in Oxford Street
C                        Am
  When you're alone in a strange town, 
F                                          G
  They say "Don't know", "Don't care" and "I gotta go, mate"


CHORUS:
Chords:
F     x33211
Gsus4 330013
G     320033

     F                Gsus4 G
They worry themselves about feeling low
     F                Gsus4       G
They worry themselves about this "dreadful snow"
     F             Gsus4  G
They all ignore me 'cos   they don't know
    F                            G
I'm really a spaceman from those UFOs


VERSE2:
Chords:
C   x32010    F x33211
Am  x02210    G 320033

C                         Am
  You've got to move in a straight line
F                                G
  you've got to walk and talk in four-four time
C                         Am
  You can't be weird in a strange town

C                        Am
  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
  'Cos we don't know, don't care and we got to go, man


CHORUS:
Chords:
F     x33211
Gsus4 330013
G     320033

F                    Gsus4  G
Rush my money to the record shops
  F             Gsus4              G
I stop off in a back street, buy myself a snort
           F                     Gsus4   G
We got our own manifesto, we are kind to queers
    F                   Gsus4    G
And I'm so glad the revolution's here


BRIDGE:
Chords:
Dm  xx0231    Em  022000
G   320033    Am  x02210

     Dm                                G  
I've finished with the clubs where the music's loud
       Dm                    G                      Em
'Cos 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
Just a thin clean layer of Mister Sheen - looking back at me

Am
  Oh______ oh______


C
Strange town, Strange town.
Break it up, Break it up
Strange Town


[repeat CHORUS]
