David Bowie - Life On Mars? chords
Start Jamming...
[E] It's a god-awful small [A] affair
[Eb] To [D] the girl with the mousy [Gm] hair
[Bb] But her mummy is yelling [C] no
And her daddy has told her to [F] go
But [Am] her friend is nowhere to [Eb] be seen
Now she [D] walks through her sunken dream
[Gm] To the [Bb] seat with the clearest view
[C]
And she's hooked to the silver screen
But the [E] film [E] is a [F] saddening bore
For she's [Gb] lived it ten times [Db] or more
She could [A] spit in the eyes [Bbm] of fools
If [Db] they asked her to focus [Bb] on
Sand girls [Eb] fighting in the dance [Gm] hall
Oh man, [Gb] look at those gay men [F]
go
[Fm] If the baby [Db] is [Cm]
yours
[Ebm] Take a look at her
[Bb]
She's [Eb] eating up the [Gm] wrong guy
[Gb] Wonder if you'll ever [F]
know
[Fm] Who's in the [Cm] Bentley cello
[Ebm] Is there life [Gm] on Mars?
[Gb] [Bb]
[Em] [F]
[Gb] [Gm]
[Dm] [Am]
[Bb]
[Bb] [F] It's on [C] America's tortured [Eb] brow
With [D] Mickey Mouse's grown-off a [Gm] cow
Now the [Bb] workers have struck for [C] fame
Because Lennon's on sale [F] again
See the [Am] mice in their million [Eb] hordes
From [D] Ibiza to the North [Gm] Abroad
[Bb] Rupert Tanner is out of [C] bounds
To my mother, my dog and [Eb]
clowns
[E] But the film is a saddening [Fm] bore
[Gb] Because I wrote it ten times or [Db] more
[A] It's about to be written [Bbm] again
[Db] If they asked her to focus [Bb] on
Sand [Eb] girls fighting in the dance [Gm] hall
Oh [Gb] man, look at those gay [F] men go
[Fm] If the [Eb] baby [Cm] is yours
[Ebm] Take a look at [Bb] her
She's [Eb] eating up the wrong [Gm] guy
Oh man, [Gb] wonder if you'll ever [F] know
[Fm] Who's in the [Db] Bentley [Cm]

Is there life [Gm] on Mars?
