bombers – david bowie
chorus 1 :
C G A# F
all clear wailed the si – rens
C G A# F
sunshine on the wasteland
C G A# F
old man sitting in the white sand
E A F E
think we’re in for a big surprise right between the
E7
eyes
C G A# F
seemed a good idea to drop a bomb on the wasteland here
Dm C A# F
only one man could be seen and he was old and so serene
C G A#
captain sat in his deckchair and the red light flashed
F
beware
Dm C A#
pilot felt quite big time as the bomb sailed through
F
the air
C Dm
well they danced & sang when the bang went bang
Em F A#
but the lights bulked out when the smoke began to clear
G G/F G/E G/D
it was positively queer
chorus 2
C G A# F
’die’ said the general , ’cobblers’ said the man
Dm C A# F
so the pentagon sent a cable and the queen a telegram
C G
A – bombs , h – bombs even very small ones
A# F
ripped apart that sand
Dm C A#
till the stench was just revolting and the sky A
F
creamish tan
C Dm
but the soldier said “sir , there’s a crack in the world”
Em F
and the blippers went spark and the bits went far and
A#
wide
G G/F G/E G/D
how the universe sighed
chorus 3 :
C G A# F
all clear wailed the si – rens
C G A# F
sunshine on the wasteland
C G A# F
old man sitting in the white sand
E A F E
think were in for a big surprise right between the eyes
chorus 4 :
C G A# F
all clear wailed the si – rens
C G A# F
sunshine on the wasteland
C G A# F
old man sitting in the white sand
E A F E E7
think were in for a big surprise right between the eyes
Dm G C F
when the smoke had blown away there was nothing left to view
D# D F C
except a man dear lord who looked like you floating high up in the sky!
