David Bowie - Life on Mars


Capo on 2:nd fret if you want to play it in the original key

Vers 1:

 D     D/C#                  D/C
It's a god-awful small affair
      B7                     Em
To the girl with the mousy hair
      Em/D
But her mummy is yelling "No"
A                              D
And her daddy has told her to go
        D/C#                       D/C
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
        B7                         Em
Now she walks through her sunken dream
      Em/D                      A
To the seat with the clearest view
                                     F/C
And she's hooked to the silver screen
         A/C#                 Dm
But the film is a saddening bore
       F/Eb                            Bb
'Cause she's lived it ten times or more
          D/F#                   Gm
She could spit in the eyes of fools
        Bb/Ab
As they ask her to focus on


Refr�ng:

 G        C
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
 Em      Eb+                 D   Dm
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
                     Am   Cm
It's the freakiest show
                      G
Take a look at the Lawman
 C
Beating up the wrong guy
 Em      Eb+                   D   Dm
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
                           Am   Cm
He's in the best selling show
                   Em  Em/D#  Em/D  Em/C#
Is there life on Mars?


Vers 2:

 D      D/C#               D/C
It's on Amerika's tortured brow
             B7                   Em
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
          Em/D                   A
Now the workers have struck for fame
                          D
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
        D/C#                     D/C
See the mice in their million hordes
       B7                    Em
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
      Em/D                   A
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
                           F/C
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
         A/C#                 Dm
But the film is a saddening bore
       F/Eb                       Bb
'Cause I wrote it ten times or more
     D/F#               Gm
It's about to be writ again
     Bb/Ab
As I ask you to focus on
