[Dm] [C]
[F] It's 27 years old, that summer, [C] just having myself a ball.
[Gm] Working on a record deal, [C] playing the bars in the concert hall.
Making money just to watch it burn, living day by day.
[Gm] Stayed out late, drinking way too [C] much, didn't match my age.
[Bb] But life turned [C] on a dime, when she said, [Gm] you're gonna be a daddy.
[C]
Come wintertime, the Lord [F] works in a strange way.
There ain't no [C] doubt, man, he's gonna [Bb] make a man of me.
[C] He's gonna straighten me out somehow, the Lord [F] works in a strange way.
[C] Heaven knows, he's [G] planning on a [Bb] miracle.

[Gm]
[C] Man, I never saw the changes coming, they caught me unaware.
[G] [Gm] One day I was wild as a buck, [C] the next I was a teddy bear.
[F] Put down the bottle about a month before, [C] and I put down the cigarettes.
[G] Started holding my [Bb] wife a little tighter, [C] saying the prayers I used to forget.
[Bb] Now I [F] look into those [C] baby blue eyes, and I [Gm] find all the peace I've been searching for.
[C] Man, I finally realize, the Lord [F] works in a strange way.
There ain't [C] no doubt, man, he's gonna [G] make a man of [Bb] me.
[C] He's gonna straighten me out somehow, the Lord [F] works in a strange way.
And it [C] stirs my soul, I'm holding [Gm] on to a miracle.
I [C] ain't never [C] letting go, the Lord [F] works in a strange [C] way.
I finally [Gm] made my peace with God, I've got sweet [C] comfort in my soul.
