LIFE ON MARS?
(David Bowie)
VERSE
F F/E F7/Eb
It's a God awful small affair
D /F#
To the girl with the mousy hair
Gm Gm7/F
But her mummy is yelling no
C/E C7
And her daddy has told her to go
F F/E F7/Eb
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
D /F#
Now she walks through her sunken dream
Gm Gm7/F
To the seat with the clearest view
C/E C7
And she's hooked to the silver screen
Ab/Eb Abaug/E
But the film is a saddening bore
Fm Ab7/Gb
For she's lived it ten times or more
Db Aaug
She could spit in the eyes of fools
Bbm B
As they ask her to focus on
CHORUS 1:
Bb Eb
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Gm F#aug5 F
Oh man look at those cavemen go
Fm Cm7
It's the freakiest show
Ebm7
Take a look at the
Bb Eb
Lawman beating up the wrong guy
Gm F#aug5 F
Oh man wonder if he'll ever know
Fm Cm7
He's in the best selling show
Ebm7 Gm F#aug5 Bb Em7dim5
Is there life on mars?
SOLO:

VERSE 2
F F/E F7
It's on Americas tortured brow
D /F#
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Gm Gm7
Now the workers have struck for fame
C/E C7
Cos Lennon's on sale again
F F/E F7
See the mice in their million hoards
D /F#
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Gm Gm7
Rule Brittannia is out of bounds
C/E C7
To my mother my dog and clowns
Ab/Eb Abaug/E
But the film is a saddening bore
Fm Ab7/Gb
Cause I wrote it ten times or more
Db Aaug
It's about to be writ again
Bb B
As they ask her to focus on
CHORUS 2:
Bb Eb
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Gm F#aug5 F
Oh man look at those cavemen go
Fm Cm7
It's the freakiest show
Ebm7
Take a look at the
Bb Eb
Lawman beating up the wrong guy
Gm F#aug5 F
Oh man wonder if he'll ever know
Fm Cm7
He's in the best selling show
Ebm7 Gm F#aug5 Bb Em7dim5
Is there life on mars?
