Five Years

David Bowie

 GF#m
  pushing thru' the market square 
 EmC
  so many mother sighing
 A
  News had just come over
 CGAm
 We had five years left ti cry in  
News guy wept and told us
earth eas really dying
Cried so much, his face was wet
Then i knew he was not lying.
 GAmG
 heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies
 BmEm
 I saw boys, toys, electric irons and T.V's
 A
 My brain hurt like a ware house, it had no room to spare
 C
 I had to cram so many things to store ev'ry thing in there
 Am
 And all the fat skinny people
 CAm
  And all the tall short people
 CGAmG
  And all the nobody  people
 CGAmD7
  And all the somebody  people
 AmCGAm
 I never thought i'd need so many people   
A girl my age went off her head
Hit some tiny children
If the black had not puled her off
I think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm
Fixed his state to the wheels of a Cadilac
A cop Knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
And a queer threw up at at the sight of that
 GF#m
  I think i saw you in an ice cream parlour 
 Em
  Drinking milkshakes cold and long
 A
  smiling and waving and looking so fine
 C
  Don't think you knew you were in this song
 GAmG
 And it was cold, and it rained, so i felt like an actor
 F#mEm
 And i thoought of Ma, and i wanted to get back there
 A
 Your face, Your race, the way that you talk
 CGAm
 I kiss you, you're beautifull, I want you to walk. we got
 GBm
 ((:  five years stuck on my eyes 
 Em
      five years what a surprise we got
 A
      five years my brain hurts a lot
 C
      five years that's all we got we've got  :))
