Five Years David Bowie
(Verse)
[G] Pushing through the market square,[G/F#] [Em] so many mothers sighing[A5]
[A] News had just come over, [A/C#] [C/G] we had five years left to cry in
[G] News guy wept and told us, [G/F#] [Em] earth was really dying[A5]
[A]Cried so much his face was wet, [A/C#] [C/G] then I knew he was not lying
I[G] heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies[G/F#]
I[Em] saw boys, toys electric irons and T.V.'s[A5]
M[A]y brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare[A/C#]
I[C/G] had to cram so many things to store everything in there
(Bridge)
And all the fat[Am]-skinny people, [Am/C] [C/G] and all the tall-short p[Am]eople[Am/C] [C/G]
And all the nobody p[G]eople, [C/G] and all the somebody p[D7]eople
I never thought I'd need so many [Am]people
(Verse)
[G] A girl my age went off her head, [G/F#] [Em] hit some tiny children[A5]
[A] If the black hadn't a-pulled her off, [A/C#] [C/G] I think she would have killed them
[G] A soldier with a broken arm, [G/F#] [Em] fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac[A5]
[A] A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest, [A/C#] [C/G] and a queer threw up at the sight of that
[G] I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour, [G/F#] [Em] drinking milk shakes cold and long[A5]
[A] Smiling and waving and looking so fine, [A/C#] [C/G] don't think you knew you were in this song
[G] And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor[G/F#]
[Em] And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there[A5]
[A] Your face, your race, the way that you talk[A/C#]
[C/G] I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk
(Outro)
[G] We've got five years, stuck on my eyes[G/F#]
[Em] Five years, what a surprise[A5]
[A] We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot[A/C#]
[C/G] Five years, that's all we've got
[G] We've got five years, what a surprise[G/F#]
[Em] Five years, stuck on my eyes[A5]
[A] We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot[A/C#]
[C/G] Five years, that's all we've got
[G] We've got five years, stuck on my eyes[G/F#]
[Em] Five years, what a surprise[A5]
[A] We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot[A/C#]
[C/G] Five years, that's all we've got
[G] We've got five years, what a surprise[G/F#]
[Em] Five years, stuck on my eyes[A5]
[A] We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot[A/C#]
[C/G] Five years, that's all we've got
[G] Five years [G/F#] [Em] Five years [A5] [A] Five years [A/C#] [C/G] Five years
[G] [G/F#] [Em] [A5] [A] [A/C#] [C/G]
