This is a strange affair

    C                              
The time has come to travel but the

 G                   C
 road is filled with fear

          G
This is a strange affair

   C                               
My youth has all been wasted and 

  G                  C
I'm bent and grey with years

    F         C           G      C
And all my companions are taken away

    F           C            G   
And who will provide for me 

            C
against my dying day?

  F              C             Dm
I took my own provision but it 

           Am       G
threw me and wasted away

          C  F G                 
This is a strange, this is a 

      C
strange affair

Oh, where are my companions?
My mother, father, lover, friend and
 enemy
Where are my companions?
They're prisoners of death now and 
taken far from me
And where are the dreams I dreamed 
in the days of my youth?
They took me to illusion and they 
promised me the truth
And what do sleepers need to make 
them listen, why do they need more
proof
This is a strange, this is a strange
 affair
