Funny Ways Lyrics
by Gentle Giant
* Riff in Verses 2 and 4:
G |---3---2-h3----3-------|
Gary Green played a 12 string acoustic on this track, live he is
tuned down a full tone, and then a capo added at the 2nd fret
to bring it back to standard tuning. Presumably having it in a
lower tuning helped take pressure of the guitar neck, or maybe
for other songs in a live set using the acoustic he was in a
dropped tuning of DGCFAD and just took the capo off for those...?

Sorry to have been ...so much of a bore,
But, in my own funny way, I find I learn much more,
I realise ...what you think from your eyes,
But, in your own funny ways, I find I learn much more!
| / / / /__/ | My ways are strange,
| / / / /__/ | They'll never change,
*Eb Bb *Eb Bb Bb(addb9)
They stay ...strange ways!
Sorry to have been ...so close from the start,
But, for all that I cared, we could've been miles a - part,
I understood ...that you never would...
...Under - stand a way of life I never could!
| / / / /__/ | My ways are strange,
| / / / /__/ | They'll never change,
They stay, strange ways!

And so you see ...what happened to me,
Since the time when I judged my life in nights and days,
I realised ...that my life was lies,
So you see what I mean with all my funny ways!
Then no chords

Sorry to have been ...so much of a bore,
But, in my own funny ways, I find I learn much more!

Funny ways, funny ways, funny ways, funny ways------!
In live versions Garry Green uses this chord sequence in the intro,
and also during Kerry Minnear's vibraphone solo...
