David Bowie - Life On Mars - Space Oddity - Starman - Lady Stardust - Heroes by Misc Mashups
Key:FF| Capo:0fr|
FAmCm/Eb
It's a god-awful small affair
D7Gm
To the girl with the mousy hair
BbC7
But her mummy is yelling "No"
C7F
And her daddy has told her to go
FAmCm/Eb
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
D7Gm
Now she walks through her sunken dream.
BbC7
To the seat with the clearest view
C7Ab
And she's hooked to the silver screen
AbEaugFm
But the film is a saddening bore
Ab7Db
For she's lived it ten times or more
DbAaugBbm
She could spit in the eyes of fools
Db7
As they ask her to focus on
BbEb
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Gm7GbaugF
Oh man! look at those cavemen go
FmCm7
It's the freakiest show
Ebm7Gm7GbaugBb
Is there life on Mars?
-----SPACE ODDITY-----
DbF
This is Major Tom to ground control
Gb
I'm stepping through the door
GbmDbGb
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
GbmDbGb
And the stars look very different today
Gbmaj7Fm
For here am I sitting in a tin can
Gbmaj7Fm
Far above the world
BBbmAGb
Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do
----STARMAN-----
AFmCm
There's a starman waiting in the sky
Eb
He'd like to come and meet us
Eb7
But he thinks he'd blow our minds.
AFmCm
There's a starman waiting in the sky
CmEb
He's told us not to blow it
Eb7
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile,
He told me,
DbDbmAF7
"Let the children lose it, let the children use it,
BbmEb
Let all the children boogie."
DbAEbADbAEb
-----LADY STARDUST-----
CHORDIntroBbD7GmGm/FEb
People stared at the makeup on his face
BbGm
Laughed at his long black hair,
FD/Gb
his animal grace
GmEb
The boy in the bright blue jeans
BbD7
Jumped up on the stage
BbF
And lady stardust sang his songs
EbEb/FF
Of darkness and disgrace
FBbF
And he was alright,
EbEb/FF
the band was altogether
BbF
Yes he was alright,
EbEb/FF
the song went on forever
BbFEbEb/FF
And he sang all night long
-----HEROES Outro-----
BbEb
I - I will be King
BbEb
And you - you will be Queen
ABb
For nothing will drive them away
FmCmBb
We can be Heroes - just for one day
AEbBb
We can be honest - just for one day
