The Lord Works In A Strange Way

he adds a hammer - on to the D in the beginning and every now and then throughout the song capo on 3 D the lord works in a strange way , A there ain’t no doubt , Em man he’s gonna make a man of me , A he’s gonna straighten me out somehow . D i was twenty - seven years old that summer , A just having my self a ball , Em working on a record deal , A D A playing in the bars and concert halls , making money just to watch it burn , living day by day , Em A stayed out late drinkin’ way too much , didn’t act my age , G A G A but life turned on a dime when she said , you’re going to be A Daddy come wintertime . D the lord works in a strange way , A there ain’t no doubt , Em man he’s gonna make a man of me , A he’s gonna straighten me out somehow . D the lord works in a strange way , A and heaven knows , Em he’s planning on a miracle , A man i wonder how it’s gonna go , D A the lord works in a strange way , Em A oh oh D A man i never saw the changes comin’ they caught me unaware , Em A one day i was as wild as a bull the next i was a teddy bear , D A put down the bottle about a month before , and i put down the cigarettes , Em A started holding my wife a little tighter and sayin’ the prayers i used’ forget , G A G and now i look into those baby blue eyes and i find all the peace i’ve been searching for yeah i A finally realize D the lord works in a strange way , A there ain’t no doubt , Em man he’s gonna make a man of me , A he’s gonna straighten me out somehow . D the lord works in a strange way , A Em A and it stirs my soul i’m holding onto a miracle and i ain’t ever letting go D A the lord works in a strange way . Em A i’ve finally made my peace with god and i’ve got sweet comfort in my soul D A the lord works in a strange way . Em man he’s gonna make a man of me a man of me A ohhh D A the lord works in a strange way . Em A ohhh a ohhh D the lord works in a strange way
