[Verse 1]
      E                   B
I was walking on down the alley
       E                B
When a face I've never seen
       E                      B
Came forth from deep in the darkness
        A          E       B
And his mouth came on real mean
B     E                       B
And I saw that he'd been liquored
          A                              E                   B
And he staggered up to -- you know -- he staggered up to his feet
         E                      B
And he said, "Boy, you'd better move real slow
    A          E     B
And gimme your money please."
          A          E     B
He said, "Gimme your money please."

[Chorus]
B           A
Wasn't that strange
            E          B
Wasn't that strange indeed
            A
Wasn't that strange
            E          B
Wasn't that strange indeed
          A          E     B
He said, "Gimme your money please."
          A          E     B        N.C.
He said, "Gimme your money please."

[Verse 2]
      E                      B
Being born and raised in New York
            E                  B
There ain't nothing you won't see
           E                          B
'Cause the streets are filled with bad goings-on
        A              E        B
And you know that's no place to be
       E                        B
But my car broke down in the evening
                 A
You know it just stopped stone cold
E                           B
Stopped stone cold in the street
      E                    B
And a dirty mean man with shot glass eyes
          A          E      B
He said, "Gimme your money please."
          A          E      B
He said, "Gimme your money please."

[Chorus]
B           A
Wasn't that strange
              E       B
Wasn't that strange indeed
             A
Wasn't that strange
              E       B
Wasn't that strange indeed
          A          E     B
He said, "Gimme your money please."
          A          E     B
He said, "Gimme your money please."

Being born and raised in New York
            E                  B
There ain't nothing you won't see

And a dirty mean man with shot glass eyes

          A          E      B
He said, "Gimme your money please."

Wasn't that strange

Wasn't that strange indeed
             A
Wasn't that strange
              E       B
Wasn't that strange indeed
          A          E     B
He said, "Gimme your money please."
          A          E     B
He said, "Gimme your money please."
          A          E     B
He said, "Gimme your money please."
          A          E     B
He said, "Gimme your money please."
