“Strange Magic”
ELO
Tabbed by John Martin
This song (Im fairly certain) is played with a slide, so I have tabbed
it out in open G. I have also tabbed the chords out, and if you dont
want to play slide you can just play it with one finger, in any case
it is certainly more right than the other versions on here.

got a strange magic.
You're walking meadows in my mind,
making waves across my time,
oh no, oh no.
I get a strange magic,
oh, what a strange magic,
oh, it's a strange magic.
Got a strange magic,
got a strange magic.
Oh, I'm never gonna be the same again,
now I've seen the way it's got to end,
sweet dream, sweet dream.
Strange magic,
oh, what a strange magic,
oh, it's a strange magic.
Got a strange magic,
got a strange magic.

It's magic, it's magic, it's magic.
