Straighten my face This mellow thighed chick just put my
Spine out of place

Hey Man, Well She’s a Total Blam Blam,
She said she had to squeeze it but she And then she

Oh don’t lean on me man cuz you can’t afford the ticket
I’m back on Suffragette City
Well don’t lean on me man cuz you ain’t got time to check it
You know my Suffragette City

Hey Man ah Henry, don’t be unkind, go Away
Hey Man ah i can’t take you this time, no way

Don’t crash here Theres only room for one
and here she comes here she come

#She’s Got Medals by David Bowie (From “London Boy” and many other
#compilations of his pre-“Space Oddity” days)
#
She’d walk through the door and she’d set up the drinks on the house
She played a good game of darts, and the men slapped her back, never took
her out.
She wore a trenchcoat garkey(?), her hobnail boots were full of holes.
She’s got medals.
Her mother called her Mary but she changed her name to Tommy, she’s a one.
She went and joined the army, passed the medical, don’t ask me how it’s done.
They sent her to the front line, fighting for her country’s name
She’s got medals.
She got very tired of picking up girls,
Cleaning her gun, and shaving her curls
Then the enemy dropped a bomb, survivors there were none!
People say that when the moon is full and when the stars have gone to bed
You can see a ghost but that’s a lie because the naughty woman isn’t dead.
She deserted on the previous morning, replaced her uniform with dresses silk
and green
Called herself Eileen, came to London town, now she’s settled down. She’s
got medals.

I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, for ever and ever
Oh we can be Heroes, just for one day
I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be Heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day
I, I can remember
Standing, by the wall
And the guns, shot above our heads
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall
And the shame, was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever
Then we could be Heroes, just for one day
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes Just for one day
We can be Heroes

#Boys Keep Swinging
#By David Bowie

#Drum intro…16 whacks
#X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X
#

Heaven loves ya
The clouds part for ya
nothing stands in your way when you’re a boy
Clothes always fit ya
life is the pop of the cherry when you’re a boy
When you’re a boy
you can wear a uniform
When you’re a boy
other boys check you out
You get a girl
these are your favorite things
when you’re a boy
……………………………………………………………………….
CHORUS
Boys Boys Boys keep swinging, boys always work it out
…………………………………………………………………………
Uncage the colors, unfurl the flag
luck just kissed you hello when you’re a boy.
They’ll never clone ya
You’re always first on the line
when you’re a boy
When you’re a boy
you can buy a home of your own
when you’re a boy
learn to drive and everything
you’ll get your share when you’re a boy
…………………………………………….
CHORUS
…………………………………………….
Rock on y’all

Don’t you wonder sometimes ‘bout sound and vision?
Blue, blue, electric blue, that’s the color of my room where I will live
Blue, blue
Pale blinds drawn all day, nothing to read, nothing to say
Blue, blue

I will sit right down
Waiting for the gift of sound and vision
And I will sing
Waiting for the gift of sound and vision

Drifting into my solitude, over my head
Don’t you wonder sometimes ‘bout sound and vision?

Intro: Dm

The secret life of Arabia
Secret secrets never seen
Secret secrets ever green

I was running at the speed of life
Through morning’s thoughts and fantasies
Then I saw your eyes at the cross fades
Secret secrets never seen
Secret secrets ever green

The secret life of Arabia
Never here never seen
Secret life ever green

The secret life of Arabia
You must see the movie the sand in my eyes
I walk through a desert song when the heroine dies

Arabia (secret secret)
Arabia (secret)
Arabia (secret secret)

Arabia
Arabia (secret secret) (3x)

The secret life of Arabia
Never here never seen
Secret life ever green

since nobody posted this, i had to figure out this for myself.
so now i share this bowie masterpice with all y’all….

YOUNG AMERICANS
bowie

intro: C, Dm, F, G (4x)

They pulled in just behind the fridge
He lays her down-he frowns
”Gee my life’s a funny thing
Am I still too young”
He kissed her then and there
She took his ring, took his babies
It took him minutes, took her nowhere
Heaven knows she’dve taken anything

CHORUS:
All night-she want s the young American
Young American, young American
she wants the young American
It’s all right-but she wants the young American

Scanning life thru the picture window
She finds the slinky vagabond
He coughs as he passes her Ford Mustang
Heaven forbid she’ll take anything
But the freak and his type-all for nothing
Misses a step and cuts his hand
Showing nothing he swoops like a song
She cries “where have all papa’s heroes gone?”

All night-she want s the young American
Young American, young American
she wants the young American
It’s all right-but she wants the young American

All the way from Washington
He breadwinner begs of the bathroom floor
“Live for just these twenty years
Do we have to die for the fifty more?”

All night-he want s the young American
Young American, young American
he wants the young American
It’s all right-but he wants the young American…

interlude: Am, G, F, G

bridge:
Do you remember your President Nixon?
So you remember the bills you have to pay
or even yesterday?

break: D, G(ii), G(iii), D(ii), A(ii)

Have you been the un-American
Just you and your id singing falsetto ‘bout
leather, leather everywhere and
not a myth left from the Ghetto
Well, well, well would you carry a razor?
In case, just in case of depression
Sit on your hands on a bus of survivors
Blushing at all the afro-sheeners
Ain’t that close to love?
Well ain’t that poster love?
Well it ain’t that brbie doll
Her hearts have been broken just like you

All night-you want the young American
Young American, young American
you want the young American
It’s all right-you want the young American

You ain’t a pimp and you ain’t a hustler
Pimps got a Caddy-lady got a Chrysler
Black’s got respect-white’s got his soul train
Mama’s got cramps and look at your hands hey
“I heard the news today, oh boy”
I got-suite and you got defeat
Ain’t there a man-who could say no more
Ain’t there a woman-I can sock on the jaw
Ain’t there a child-I can hold without judging
Ain’t there a pen-that will write before they die
Ain’t you proud-that you’ve still got faces
and ain’t there one damn song that can make me
break down and cry…

All night-I want the young American
Young American, young American
I want the young American
It’s all right-I want the young American

Here is a David Bowie song I tried to figure out the other day and this is
what I came up with. I am not sure I got everything correct. The G might
be a Gsus4 or something similar. Help me out here. Corrections are welcome!

They pulled in just behind the fridge
He laid her down – he frowns
Gee my life’s a funny thing
Am I still too young
He kissed then and there
She took his ring took his babies
It him minutes took her nowhere
Heaven knows she’d’ve taken anything

All night – she wants the young American
It’s all right – but she wants the young American

Scanning life through the picture window
She finds the slinky vagabond
He coughs as he passes her Ford Mustang
Heaven forbid she’ll taken anything
But the freak and his type – all for nothing
He misses a step and cuts his hand
Showing nothing he swoops like a song
She cries where have all papa’s heroes gone

All night – she wants the young American
It’s all right – but she wants the young American

All the way from Washington
Her breadwinner begs of the bathroom floor
We live for just these twenty years
Do we have to die for fifty more

All night – she wants the young American
It’s all right – but she wants the young American

Do you remember president Nixon
Do you remember all the bills you have to pay
or even yesterday ……………………………
