[Bm] [Bm] [F#7]

[Verse 1]
     [Bm]
There once was a woman, a strange kind of woman
   [A]              [E7]              [Bm]
The kind that gets written down in history
   [Bm]
Her name was Nancy, her face was nothing fancy
   [A]               [E7]            [Bm]
She left a trail of happiness and misery

[Verse 2]
[Bm]
I loved her, everybody loved her
   [A]           [E7]               [Bm]
She loved everyone and gave them good return
[Bm]
I tried to take her, I even tried to break her
   [A]                [E7]               [Bm]
She said I ain't for takin' won't you ever learn

[Chorus 1]
 [Bm]
I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
 [A]        [E7]         [Bm]
I spent my money as I took my turn
 [Bm]
I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
[A]          [E7]              [Bm]
Ooh I got a strange kind of woman

[Verse 3]
   [Bm]
She looked like a raver but I could never please her
  [A]         [E7]               [Bm]
On Wednesday mornings boy you can't go far
[Bm]
I couldn't get her but things got better, she said
[A]                   [E7]          [Bm]
Saturday nights from now on baby you're my star

[Chorus 2]
 [Bm]
I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
 [A]        [E7]         [Bm]
I spent my money as I took my turn
 [Bm]
I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
[A]          [E7]              [Bm]
Ooh I got a strange kind of woman

[Bridge]
[G]      [D]       [A]      [Bm]
Oooh... Oooh... Oooh... Oooh...
[G]      [D]       [A]      [Bm]
Oooh... Oooh... Oooh... Oooh...
[A]              [E7]
Oooh my soul, I love you

[Chorus 3]
 [Bm]
I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
 [A]        [E7]         [Bm]
I spent my money as I took my turn
 [Bm]
I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
[A]          [E7]              [Bm] [F#7]
Ooh I got a strange kind of woman

[Verse 4]
   [Bm]
She finally said she loved me, I wed her in a hurry
[A]      [E7]            [Bm]
No more callers and I glowed with pride
[Bm]
I'm dreaming, I feel like screaming
 [A]      [E7]            [Bm]
I won my woman just before she died

[Chorus 4]
 [Bm]
I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
 [A]        [E7]         [Bm]
I spent my money as I took my turn
 [Bm]
I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
[A]          [E7]              [Bm]
Ooh I had a strange kind of woman
