Life on Mars? David Bowie
These took a long time to transcribe, and I feel they are most suitably played on
guitar with a capo. I replaced the non-harmonic bass tones with
7th chords to make it easier to play on guitar. It's verse, chorus, bridge, verse,
chorus, outro. These are some extremely creative chords, so there may be a
dominant 7th in place of a diminished in some places.
Capo on 3rd fret
(Verse)
[D]It's a [DM7]god-awful small affair[D7]
To the [B7]girl with the mousy hair[Em]
But her[Em7] mummy is yelling "No"[A]
And her [A7]daddy has told her to go[D]
But her [DM7]friend is nowhere to be see[D7]n
Now she [B7]walks through her sunken dream[Em]
To the [Em7]seat with the clearest view[A]
And she's [A7]hooked to the silver screen[C]
But the [A7]film is a saddening bore[Dm]
For she's [Eb]lived it ten times or more[Bb]
She could [D7]spit in the eyes of fools[Gm]
As they [Bb7]ask her to focus on
(Chorus)
[G]Sailors [C]fighting in the dance hall
[Em]Oh man! [Eb+]Look at those cavemen [D]go[Dm]
It's the freakiest [Am]show[Cm]
Take a look at the [G]Lawman
[C]Beating up the wrong guy
[Em]Oh man! [Eb+]Wonder if he'll ever know[D] [Dm]
He's in the best selling sh[Am]ow[Cm]
Is there life on [Em]Mars?[Em7] [A] [A7]
(Bridge)
[D] [B7] [Em] [Abdim7]
[Gbm] [G] [Gm]
(Outro)
[D] [B7] [Em] [G]
[D] [D] [C] [Cm]
[G]
