A                         D               A    G A
It's a strange, strange world we live in, Master Jack.
    A                              D          A   G A
You taught me all I know and I'll..never look back.
       D                        E                 A   G A
It's a very strange world and I thank you, Master Jack.

[Verse 1]
    D                           A
You took a coloured ribbon from out of the sky,
    D                              A
and taught me how to use it as the years went by,
   D                               A
To tie up all your problems and to make them look neat,
    D                        E
And then to sell them to the people in the street.

[Chorus]
       A                         D               A    G A
It's a strange, strange world we live in, Master Jack.
    A                              D          A    G A
You taught me all I know and I'll..never look back.
       D                        E                 A    G A
It's a very strange world and I thank you, Master Jack.

[Verse 2]
  D                                     A
I saw right through the way you started teaching me, now.
    D                             A
So, someday soon you could get to use me somehow.
  D                                     A
I thank you very much, you know, you've been very kind.
     D                       E
But, I'd better move along before you change my mind.

[Chorus]
       A                         D               A    G A
It's a strange, strange world we live in, Master Jack.
A                      D          A    G A
No hard feelings if I..never come back.
       D                        E                 A    G A
It's a very strange world and I thank you, Master Jack.

[Verse 3]
    D                                        A
You taught me all those things the way you'd like them to be.
    D                        A
But I'd like to see if other people agree.
     D                        A
It's all very interesting the way you describe,
    D                         E
But I'd like to see the world through my own eyes.

[Chorus]
       A                         D               A   G A
It's a strange, strange world we live in, Master Jack.
A                      D          A   G A
No hard feelings if I..never come back.
         D                      E                 A    G A
You're a very strange man and I thank you, Master Jack.
         D                  E                    A    G A
