David Bowie - Life On Mars

life on mars – david bowie

F Fmaj7 F7
it’s a god – awful small affair
D7 Gm
to the girl with the mousy hair
Gm7
but her mummy is yelling “no”
C F
and her Daddy has told her to go
Fmaj7 F7
but her friend is nowhere to be seen
D7 Gm
now she walks through her sunken dream
Gm7 C
to the seat with the clearest view
G#
and she’s hooked to the silver screen
C/E Fm
but the film is a saddEning bore
G#7 C#
for she’s lived it ten times or more
F/A A#m
she could spit in the eyes of fools
C#7
as they ask her to focus on

A# D#
sailors fighting in the dance hall
Gm F#mmaj7 F Fm
oh man! look at those cavemen go
Cm D#m
it’s the freakiest show
A#
take a look at the lawman
D#
beating up the wrong guy
Gm F#mmaj7 F Fm
oh man! wonder if he’ll ever know
Cm D#m
he’s in the best selling show
Gm2 Gm/F# Gm/F Gm/E
is there life on mars?

F Fmaj7 F7
it’s on amerikas tortured brow
D7 Gm
that mickey mouse has grown up a cow
Gm7 C
now the workers have struck for fame
F
’cause lennon’s on sale again
Fmaj7 F7
see the mice in their million hordes
D7 Gm
from ibeza to the norfolk broads
Gm7 C
rule britannia is out of bounds
G#
to my mother , my dog , and clowns
C/E Fm
but the film is a saddEning bore
G#7 C#
’cause i wrote it ten times or more
F/A A#m
it’s about to be writ again
C#7
as i ask you to focus on

A# D#
sailors fighting in the dance hall
Gm F#mmaj7 F Fm
oh man! look at those cavemen go
Cm D#m
it’s the freakiest show
A#
take a look at the lawman
D#
beating up the wrong guy
Gm F#mmaj7 F Fm
oh man! wonder if he’ll ever know
Cm D#m
he’s in the best selling show
Gm2 Gm/F# Gm/F Gm/E
is there life on mars?
