Standard (EADGBE)

 This is a strange affair

 The time has come to travel but the road is filled with fear

 This is a strange affair

 My youth has all been wasted and I'm bent and grey with years

 And all my companions are taken away

 And who will provide for me against my dying day?

 I took my own provision but it threw me and wasted away

 This is a strange, this is a strange affair
