Conversation Piece

David Bowie

 GD
 GD
 I took this walk to ease my mind 
 Am
     To find out what's gnawing at me
 C
     Wouldn't think to look at me,

 GD
                 that I've spent a lot of time in education
 C
         It all seems so long ago
 GD
        I'm a thinker, not a talker
 C
         I've no-one to talk to, anyway

 GF
can't see the road
 CG
for the rain in my eyes
 GFCG
 Ahhh ...  

 D
I live above the grocers store,
 Am
         owned by an Austrian
 C
         He often calls me down to eat
 GD
         And he jokes about his broken English,
 C
         tries to be a friend to me
 GD
         But for all my years of reading conversation,
 C
         I stand without a word to say

 GF
I can't see the bridge
 CG
for the rain in my eyes
Ahhh...

(now it changes key, everything goes up 1 step)

 AE
And the world is full of life
 Bm
         Full of folk who don't know me
 D
         And they walk in twos or threes or more

 AE
         While the light that shines above the grocer's store
 D
         Investigates my face so rudely
 AE
         And my essays lying scattered on the floor
 D
         Fulfill their needs just by being there
 AE
And my hands shake, my head hurts,
 DA
my voice sticks inside my throat
 AE
I'm invisible and dumb,
 DA
And no-one will recall me
 AG
And I can't see the water
C Am7? E A
for the tears in my ey-y-yes


A Am Bm C D E F G
