	D
And so the st	ory goes they wore the clothes

	D	Em	A
They said the	things to make it seem imp	robable

	D	D	Em	A
The whale of	a lie like they hope it	was

	D
And the G	oodmen of Tomorrow

	D
Had	their feet in the wallow

	Em
And thei	r heads of Brawn, were nicer shorn

	A	D	D
And h	ow they bought their positions with sacc	harin and trust.

	Em	A	D	D
The world	was asleep to our laten	t fuss.

	Em
	Sighing the swirl through the streets

	A
Like the	crust of the sun

	Bm
	The Bewlay Brothers

	A
in our Wi	ngs that Bark

	G
Flashing t	eeth of Brass

	F#
Standing t	all in the dark

	Em
Oh, We were G	one-----

	G
Hanging out with your Dw	arf Men

	Em
We were so turned	on

	G
By your lack of Co	nclusions

	D	D	Em	A7
				I was Stone and he was Wax

So he could scream and still relax, unbelievable

And we frightened the small children away

And our talk was old and dust would flow

Thru our veins and Lo! it was midnight

Back o' the kitchen door

Like the grim face on the Cathedral floor

And the solid book we wrote

Cannot be found today

It was stalking time for the Moonboys

The Bewlay Brothers

With our backs on the arch

In the Devil-may-be-here

But He can't sing above that

Oh, We were Gone

Real Cool Traders

We were so Turned On

You thought we were Fakers

	D	D	Em	A7
				Now the dress is hung, the ticket pawned

the Factor Max that proved the fact

is melted down,

And woven on the edging of my pillow

Now my Brother lays upon the Rocks

He could be dead. He could be not,

He could be You.

He's Camelian, comedian Corinthian and Caricature

"Shooting-up Pie-in-the-Sky"

The Bewlay Brothers

In the feeble and the Bad

The Bewlay Brothers

In the Blessed and Cold

In the Crutch-hungry dark

Was where we flayed our Mark

Oh, We were Gone

Kings of Oblivion

We were so Turned On

In the Mind-Warp Pavilion

	Bm	A
	Lay me Place and	bake me Pie

	G	Em
I'm st	arving for me Gr	avy

	Bm	A
	Leave my shoes, and do	or unlocked

	G	Em
I mi	ght just slip aw	ay

	F
Just for the D	ay, Hey! (Repeat last 2 lines into fade)

	Bm
Please come A	way, Hey!

OutBreak23 (report comment to admin):

the last section is still wrong but the guitar is so far under the lyrics its hard to hear whats going on. the correct chords can be found i Bowie's Ziggy music book

More or less correct version here - http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Backstage/3020/Hunky.html#Bewlay







Problems with this version - 

- first verse, third line - doesn't go to D till the word "hope"



- Oh we were G[Asus-d to A]one should be G[Em/A]one



- chords for outro ("lay me place...") should be Bm - C5 - F - Bm (then Bm - F on the "Please come away/Just for today" fade)



- Little riff that gets played 2x at intro, 1x between verses:

|2--2--2-3-2--------0--0-0--0--0--0--0-|

|3--3--------3------0--0-0--2--2--2--2-|

|2--2---------------0--0-0--0--0--0--0-|

|0--0---------------2-------2--2--2--2-|

|-------------------2-------0--0-------|

|---------------0---0------------------|

The end of that is more like strumming around the high strings on A7 - get the rhythm from the recording.



- outside this riff, the [A]s in this version of the tab can be swapped for [A7]s.  I like to play it as mostly A7, throwing an A in here or there to make a line sound stronger & less wistful.
