Watch That Man - David Bowie
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: adslam3
While at home with H1N1, I realized that his song has not been tabbed.
So I am going to try to correct this with the following.
Also, due to the fact that I have an insane amount of downtime, expect
a chords version with lyrics soon.
Tuning: Standard - This is a tab just for the Rhythm Guitar
NOTE: This song has some "surf rock" strumming in the verses that I will try
to show but overall I'm NOT SHOWING EXACT STRUMMING as the chord changes
are easy to hear.
Intro: (repeate twice)
[G] [Cadd9] [E] [A]
e|-----3~------3~-----------------------------------------------------------| B|-----3~------3~-----------------------------------------------------------| G|-----0~------0~-----------------------------------------------------------| D|-----0~------2~---------2-------------------------------------------------| A|-----2~------3~---------2-----------7-7-9-7-------------------------------| E|-----3~-----------------0-----------5-5-5-5-------------------------------|
^^^^^^^ This is the "surf rock" stuff
Verses: This is played twice for each verse. Remember: strumming NOT exact!
[A] [D] [E] [F#]
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-----------7-7-9-7--9-9-11-9----------------------------------------------| A|--7-7-9-7--5-5-5-5--7-7-7--7----4-4-4-4-----------------------------------| E|--5-5-5-5-----------------------2-2-2-2-----------------------------------|
Note: When listening to the song, you'll notice the E is strummed longer
than the other chords.
Bridge
D A B D rest D A E
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---7-------------------7--------7-----------------------------------------| D|---7----7--------------7--------7----7-----9-9-11-9-----------------------| A|---5----7----9-9-11-9--5--------5----7-----7-7-7--7-----------------------| E|--------5----7-7-7--7----------------5------------------------------------|
Chorus
Watch that man
[A] [D] [G] [C] [D] [C] [G]
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|--------7----------5----7----5--------------------------------------------| D|--7-----7----5-----5----7----5----5---------------------------------------| A|--7-----5----5-----3----5----3----5---------------------------------------| E|--5----------3--------------------3---------------------------------------|
Watch that man
[A] [D] [G] [C] [D] [C] [B] [C]
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|--------7----------5----7----5----4----5----------------------------------| D|--7-----7----5-----5----7----5----4----5----------------------------------| A|--7-----5----5-----3----5----3----2----3----------------------------------| E|--5----------3------------------------------------------------------------|
Now go back to the Intro, then verse, then bridge, then chorus, then this:
Ending: (where bowie & co sing "watch that man" over and over again)
Just repeate the following chords and listen for the changes
[G] [Cadd9]
e|--3--------3--------------------------------------------------------------| B|--3--------3--------------------------------------------------------------| G|--0--------0--------------------------------------------------------------| D|--0--------2--------------------------------------------------------------| A|--2--------3--------------------------------------------------------------| E|--3-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
And that's it! Sorry I don't have Mick's guitar part. It's fantastic and
I'm not that good to figure it out. But enjoy this so you can play it on
your own.
