The Next Day David Bowie
[Intro]
[G] [A] [G] [A]
[Verse 1]
[E]Look into my eyes he tells he[A]r[E]
[E]I'm gonna say goodbye he says yea[A] [E]
[E]Do not cry she begs of him goodbye ye[A]a[E]
[E]All that day she thinks of his love yea[A]
[Verse 2]
[G]They whip him through the streets and alleys ther[C]e[G]
[G]The gormless and the baying crowd right there[C]
[E]They can't get enough of that doomsday son[G]g[E]
[E]They can't get enough of it all[G] [E]
[E]Listen[G] [E]
[Interlude]
[E] [G]
[Verse 3]
[G]Listen to the whores he tells he[C]r[G]
[G]He fashions paper sculptures of them[C]
Then d[G]rags them to the river's ban[A]k in the cart
Their s[G]oggy paper bodies wash a[A]shore in the dark
And the [G]priest stiff in hate now dem[A]anding fun begin
Of his w[Bm]omen dressed as men for the pl[A]easure of that priest
[Cborus]
[E]Here I am
Not quite dyi[D]ng
[E]My body left to rot in a hollow [D]tree
Its [E]branches throwing shadows
On the gallows for [D]me
[E]And the next day
And the next
And ano[D]ther da[E]y
[Interlude]
E, G E, G
[Verse 4]
Ign[E]oring the pain of their particular disease[A]s[E]
[E]They chase him through the alleys chase him down the steps[A] [E]
[E]They haul him through the mud and they chant for his death[A] [E]
[E]And drag him to the feet of the purple headed priest[A]
[Verse 5]
[G]First they give you everything that you want[C] [G]
[G]Then they take back everything that you have[C]
[G]They live upon their feet and they d[A]ie upon their knees
[G]They can work with satan while they [A]dress like the saints
[G]They know God exists for the d[A]evil told them so
They sc[Bm]ream my name aloud d[A]own into the well below
[Cborus]
[E]Here I am
Not quite dyi[D]ng
[E]My body left to rot in a hollow [D]tree
Its [E]branches throwing shadows
On the gallows for [D]me
[E]And the next day
And the next
And ano[D]ther da[E]y
[Interlude]
