David Bowie - How Does The Grass Grow

A G# G F# F

A#m G#
theres a graveyard by the station
F#
where the girls wear nylon skirts and
F#
sandals from hungary
A#m
the boys ride their riga 1s
G#
upon the little hill
F#
such sadness and grief
F#
the trees die standing
A#m
thats where we made our trysts
G#
and struggled with our guns
F#
would you still love me
F#
if the clocks could go backwards
A#m
the girls would fill with blood and
G#
the grass would be green again
F#
remember the dead
F#
they were so great some of them

A#m
but i lived a blind life
G#
a white face in prison
F#
but you made a life out of nothing
F#
now i ride my black horse
A#m
i miss you more
G#
than youll ever ever know
F#
waiting with my red eyes
F#
and my stone heart

i gaze in defeat

at the stars in the night

the light in my life burnt away

there will be no tomorrow
F# F
then you sigh in your sleep
A E D
and meaning returns with the day
