Ashes To Ashes

David Bowie

------------------------------------------------


 Ab
   Do you remember a guy that's been
 Fm7
   in such an early song?
 Db
   I've heard a rumour from Ground Control
 Eb
   Oh no, don't say it's true
 Gb
   They got a message from the Action Man
 DbFm7Gb
  I'm happy, hope you're happy too  
 Ab
  I've loved all I've needed love  
 F7/A
  Sordid details following

BRIDGE:
 Bb
   The shrieking of nothing is killing me
 F
  Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis
 AbEbEb
  And I ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair        
 GbDbFm
   But I'm hoping to kick but the planet is glowing  

CHORUS:
 GbAb
 Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
 DbBbm
 We know Major Tom's a junky
 GbAb
 Strung out in heaven's high
 Bbm7AbEbmBbm7AbEbm
Hitting an all time low                     

 Bbm7AbEbmBbm7AbEbmEbm
VERSE:
Time and again I tell myself
I'll stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh no, not again
I'm stuck with a valuable friend
I'm happy, hope you're happy too
One flash of light but no smoking pistol

BRIDGE:
I've never done good things
I've never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue
I want an axe to brake the ice
I want to come down right now

CHORUS

 Bbm7Ab
||: Ebm Bbm7
My mama said to get things done
 AbEbm
      You'd better not mess with Major Tom
 Bbm7Ab
      My mama said to get things done
 EbmBbm7
      You'd better not mess with Major Tom
 AbEbm
      My mama said to get things done
 Bbm7Ab
      You'd better not mess with Major Tom   :|| (repeat to fade)
