Quicksand David Bowie
David Bowie - Quicksand
Tuning: Standard E
This is how I play Quicksand... This is very close to the album version.
The dim-chords are shown at the bottom of the page, if you need them.
Intro: G Am7 x4
I'm [C]closer to the Golden Dawn
Immersed in Crowley's uniform of imag[G]ery
I'm l[C]iving in a silent film
Portraying Himmler's sacred realm of dre[G]am reality
I'm frightened by the total goal, drawing to the ragged hole
[Eb] [F]

And I a[G]in't got the p[Em]ower anym[C]ore
No I a[C]in't got the power anymo[G]re[Am7] [Asus2] [A]
I'm the tw[D]isted name on Garbo's eyes
I'm living proof of Churchill's lies, I'm[A] destiny
I'm t[D]orn between the light and dark
Where others see their targets, divine [A]symmetry
S[F]hould I kiss the viper's fang
Or h[G]erald loud the death of Man
I'm sin[A]king in the qui[F#m]cksand of my tho[D]ught
And I ai[D]n't got the power any[A]more
BRIDGE:
D[A]on't bel[E]ieve in you[F#m]rself
Don't d[D#dim]eceive with be[E]lief
Knowledge [Edim]comes with death's rele[Bm]ase
Aaah,[D#dim] aaah, aaah, a[A]aah
Aaah, a[F#m]aah, aaah, a[E]aaha
I'm n[D]ot a prophet or a stone age man
Just a mortal with potential of a superman, I'm [A]living on
I'm te[D]thered to the logic of Homo Sapien
Can't take my eyes from the great salvation of [A]bullsh*t faith
If I d[F]on't explain what you ought to know
You can t[G]ell me all about it on the next Bardo
I'm s[A]inking in the qui[F#m]cksand of my th[D]ought
And I a[D]in't got the power anym[A]ore
(Bridge x2, then the song ends)
