Quicksand David Bowie
This song is my favorite from David Bowie. I saw him play it with Robert Smith live on
David Bowie's 50th. B-day and it was very cool. Here it is, the "Honkey Dory" version. (it is
the same as the live one).

||INTRO||
[G] [Am] [G] [Am] [G] [Am] [G] [Am]
I'm c[C]loser to the Golden Dawn
Immersed in Crowley's uniform
[G]Of imagery
I'm [C]living in a silent film
Portraying Himmler's sacred realm
Of d[G]ream reality
[Eb]I'm frightened by the total goal
[F2]Drawing to the ragged hole
And I[G] ain't got the [Em]power any[C]more
No I ain't got the power anymo[G]re[Am] [Asus2] [A]
I'm the[D] twisted name on Garbo's eyes
Living proof of Churchill's lies
I'm d[A]estiny
I'm [D]torn between the light and dark
Where others see their targets
Div[A]ine symmetry
Sh[F]ould I kiss the viper's fang
Or[G] herald loud the death of Man
I'[A]m sinking in the[F#m] quicksand of my thou[D]ght
And I[D] ain't g[Dsus2]ot the power any[A]more
[A]Don't bel[E]ieve in yourse[F#m]lf
Don't de[B7]ceive with beli[E]ef
Knowledge com[Em]es with death's rel[Bm]ease
oh [Adim] oh ohh h[A]o oh [F#m]oh ohh [C#m] ho oh[E]h
I'm not a [D]prophet or a stone age man
Just a mortal with the potential of a superman
I'm [A]living on
I'm [D]tethered to the logic of Homo Sapien
Can't take my eyes from the great salvation
Of b[A]ull*** faith
If I do[F]n't explain what you ought to know
You can [G]tell me all about it
On the next Bardo
I'm [A]sinking in the qu[F#m]icksand of my thoug[D]ht
And I [D]ain't got t[Dsus2]he power anymo[A]re
[A]Don't bel[E]ieve in yourse[F#m]lf
Don't de[B7]ceive with beli[E]ef
Knowledge com[Em]es with death's rel[Bm]ease
oh [Adim] oh ohh h[A]o oh [F#m]oh ohh [C#m] ho oh[E]h
[A]Don't bel[E]ieve in yourse[F#m]lf
Don't de[B7]ceive with beli[E]ef
Knowledge com[Em]es with death's rel[Bm]ease
oh [Adim] oh ohh h[A]o oh [F#m]oh ohh [C#m] ho oh[E]h
