David Bowie - If You Can See Me

F# – G# – A#m – G# – A#m – C – C#

C#
if you can see me i can see you

E – Fm

E
i could wear your new blue shoes
E
i should wear your old red dress
E
and walk to the crossroads
E
so take this knife
Fm
and meet me across the river

E
just chutes and laddErs and this is the kiss
E
american anna , fantastic alsatian
E
from nowhere to nothing
Fm
and i go way back

E
children swarm like thousands of bugs
E
towards the lights the beacons above the hill
E Fm
the stars to the west , the south , the north and to the east

F# G#
now you could say i’ve got a gift of sorts
A#m G#
a fear of rear windows and swinging doors
A#m C
a love of violence and dread of sighs

C#
if you can see me i can see you
C#
if you can see me i can see you

E – Fm

E
i have seen these bairns wave their fists at god
E
swear to destroy the beasts , stamping the ground
Fm
in their excitement for tomorrow
E
i could wear your new blue shoes
E
i should wear your old red dress
E
and walk to the crossroads
E
so take this knife
Fm
and meet me across the river

F# G#
i will take your lands and all that lays beneath
A#m G#
the dust of cold flowers , prison of dark of ashes
A#m C
i will slaughter your kind who descend from belief
C#
i Am the spirit of greed , a lord of theft
C#
i’ll burn all your books and the problems they make

C#
if you can see me i can see you
C#
if you can see me .
