STRANGE WAYS - Ace Frehley

[Rhythm Fig. 1] (2x)

[Rhythm Fig. 1](4x)
Well, it's a strange way
The way you look at me
And it's a hard time
Time you been givin' me
Come on and open up
Open up to me
So you can realize
That I could set you free

[Rhythm Fig. 2] w/ [Rhythm Fig. 2a]
Strange ways, twisted days
Strange ways, twisted days

[Rhythm Fig. 1](4x)
Well, it's a strange place
That you've been livin' in
And it's a strange line
You've been deliverin'
I think I like it
But I'm not really sure
Don't wanna to fight it
Just wanna feel some more

[Rhythm Fig. 2] w/ [Rhythm Fig. 2a]
Strange ways, twisted days
Strange ways, twisted days

[Solo] w/ [Rhythm Fig. 3](2x) then [Rhythm Fig. 2](2x)

[Rhythm Fig. 2b] w/ [Rhythm Fig. 2a]
Strange ways, twisted days
Strange ways, twisted days
