Five Years David Bowie
David Bowie
5 Years
The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust
I've seen a few tabs to this song and they all seem over-complicated.
I watched the OGWT version of the song where you can see everything Bowie plays.
G* - x55433 - I don't know what G this is called but Bowie uses it.
Em - 022000
A - x02220
C/G- 332010
Am - a03320
D - xx0232
G - 320003
For the first bit of the song just do single up strums for each chords
G* Em A C/G
G*
Pushing Through the Market Square
[Em]So many mothers sighing
[A]News had just come over
[C/G]We had 5 years left to cry in
...
and then...
And all the fat-skinny people[Am],[C/G]
and all the tall-short people[Am] [C/G]
G* C/G
And all the nobody people,
and all the somebody people[D]
I never thought I'd need so many people C/G G
Repeat the 4 chords now for the rest of the song with the strumming pattern
D DUDU X4 for each chord which starts with the normal G after "i never thought i'd need
many people."
G*
A girl my age went off her head,
[Em]hit some tiny children
[A]If the black hadn't a-pulled her off,
[C/G]I think she would have killed them
.....
G*
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
[Em]Five years, what a surprise
[A]We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
[C/G]Five years, that's all we've got
Your still going to need to listen for the timings, especially with the "All the tall
people bit", but its a very easy song
If you really want to you can just use the strumming pattern throughout the whole song
you are playing on your own.
anyway
Enjoy
