By Phil Ochs [Verse 1]
A                               A7
Now I'd like to lay here in the night

A                             Bm
Now I'd like to linger in the light

D
Wishing not to move

       C#m
I have nothing left to prove

    D              E             A     G  A
But did I hear you asking was it wrong or right
[Chorus]
D          E             F#m
Oh, If you feel a little strange

       Bm         E                  A
Please have the memory and keep the change
[Verse 2]
A                          A7
Now I'd like to hover in a hole

A                                  Bm
Where silence is the singer of the soul

D
I have no games to play

          C#m
I have no lines to say

    D                E            A G     A
But someone's taking surveys on a passion poll
[Chorus]
D          E             F#m
Oh, If you feel a little strange

       Bm         E                  A
Please have the memory and keep the change
[Verse 3]
A                              A7
Pretending every worry has all gone

A                              Bm
Now I'd like to drift into the dawn

D                                        D
As simple as it seems                   (Pleasures are endowed)

         C#m                             C#m
Changing thoughts around to dreams      (Lying lazy as a cloud)

D                  E             A    G    A
But did I hear the stifling of a sleepless yawn
[Chorus]
D          E             F#m
Oh, If you feel a little strange

       Bm         E                  A
Please have the memory and keep the change
[Verse 4]
A                           A7
Now I'd like to dangle in a dream

A                                Bm
A cavalier who's courting to the queen

D                                     D
Hopelessly insane                 (As tender as the trees)

        C#m                          C#m
Running ragged through the rain   (I only wish to please)

D                       E           A  G   A
But someone's directing lovers on a silver screen
[Chorus]
D          E             F#m
Oh, If you feel a little strange

       Bm         E                  A
Please have the memory and keep the change
[Verse 5]
A                             A7
Now I'd live to hide behind a hand

A                                           Bm
It's too late for leaving footprints on the sand

D                                   D
Willing/Chilling is the wine       (Gentle as the air)

     C#m                                           C#m
I've surrendered to the time       (There's a stillness to be shared)

D              E                   A G  A
But someone is insisting that they understand

    D             E                 A     G A
   (But someone's disappearing into weird demand)
[Chorus]
D          E             F#m
Oh, If you feel a little strange

       Bm         E                  A
Please have the memory and keep the change
[Verse 6]
A                                 A7
Now you've heard the story of the skin

A                                          Bm
All the ashtrays have been powdered to the brim

D
I'd only like to fall

         C#m
Watching whispers on the wall

D             E                     A G      A
But someone's making up the bed and defining sin
[Chorus]
D          E             F#m
Oh, If you feel a little strange

       Bm         E                  A
Please have the memory and keep the change
