C                         F               C   (2/4: A# B C)
It's a strange, strange world we live in, Master Jack
                                  F             C     (2/4: A# B C)
You taught me all I know and I'll   never look back
        F                        G                C   (2/4: A# B C)
It's a very strange world and I thank you, Master Jack

(band enters)

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

[Chorus 1]
        C                         F               C    (2/4: A# B C)
It's a strange, strange world we live in, Master Jack
    C                             F             C      (2/4: A# B C)
You taught me all I know and I'll   never look back
        F                        G                C    (2/4: A# B C)
It's a very strange world and I thank you, Master Jack

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

[Chorus 2]
       C                         F               C    (2/4: A# B C)
It's a strange, strange world we live in, Master Jack
C                     F        C     (2/4: A# B C)
No hard feelings if I never go back
       F                        G                  C   (2/4: A# B C)
It's a very strange world and I thank you, Master Jack

[Verse 3]
    F                                        C
You taught me all those things the way you'd like them to be
    F                        C
But I'd like to see if other people agree
     F                        C
It's all very interesting the way you disguise
    F                         G
But I'd like to see the world through my own eyes

[Chorus 3]
       C                         F               C    (2/4: A# B C)
It's a strange, strange world we live in, Master Jack
C                     F        C     (2/4: A# B C)
No hard feelings if I never go back
       F                        G                  C   (2/4: A# B C)
You're a very strange man and I thank you, Master Jack

[Coda]
          F                       G               C   A# B C
You're a very strange man and I thank you, Master Jack
          F  N.C            G  N.C.
You're a very strange man - aren't you?
           C    (rit.)  A# B  C  (end cold)
Master... Jack
