Chords for Marc Bolan - Kings of Glam - Part Two

[G] Glamrock had arrived, [D] Hot Love [Em] was its first number [A] one_
_and
the press had [G] a new catchphrase.
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[A] Hot music saved me from my environment.
I wanted something else, something beyond regular life.
And I got that around about 11_
_when
I first was introduced to Matt Bolin and T-Rex.
And this mystical thing happened to me where a doorway was open.
You're so sweet _ _ You're so fine
It just let me know there was [E] something else going on out [F#] there.
He weren't sure even what it was.
He couldn't [D] even give it a name.
There's [A#] something in the way he will glitter on his [A] face_
_the
way he was kind of effeminate.
It's hard to believe now, but it was very shocking at its [G] time.
How grand [F#] does it taste to fall [C] in love
_ [B] Mark's pantomime [A#] stage persona caught [A] everyone's eye.
_ I think everybody's parents were a little bit shocked_
_with
feather boas and wearing make-up.
Very feminine.
[F#m] _ June, his [Em] wife, was responsible really for his look.
I mean, I don't think Mark got that look together.
It was all to do with June.
When it came to wardrobe and make-up_
_I
think glam styles had women behind them, egging them on, really.
He was kind of a boy-girl, you know, or a girl-boy or a boy-girl.
You know, what?
What was he?
And that was the fun of glam [A] rock.
_ I'm gonna _ [Em] dream it all up
With that [E] squirm factor, you kind of watch it with your parents.
And if everyone's squirming uncomfortably_
_you
know it must be [F#] something good.
I'm [A] gonna dream it all up
Certainly there's been a [Em] change in England in two years.
[C] And we are part of the change.
I mean, [B] guys now can wear make-up.
They can shout and [A] scream.
You, _ _ _ _
[Em] you
[A] Most of my [E] mates, even at 11 or 12, would look at Mark Bowling_
_and
you wouldn't think, you know, puff or something like that.
You'd think, God, he's gonna pull the girls I wanna be like.
You are a [G] girl
_ _ [Bm] _ _ [E] _ _
Selling [Am] records was all Mark cared [D] about.
_ And now [G] he had a follow-up to write.
[D] _ [Em] Yeah, I remember I was walking down the corridor in a _ [D] hotel_
_and
[E] _ he had his room opposite me and he stuck his head out.
I said, you got any drums in your room?
I said, well, I have, actually.
I've got a snare.
He said, I'll bring it down.
_ And he went through this riff, Get It On.
Hey
He _ _ _ said, will you reckon? _
_ _ _ Yeah, it could _ be all right.
You're dirty and sweet, [A] glad and black
Don't need back and [E] I love you
[A] _ You're dirty and sweet, [E] oh, yeah
Get It On was Mark's second number [Em] one in the U.K.
_ T-Rex had turned into a pop [G] monster.
Ooh, _ [C] the children of the [Am] revolution
_ [B] In the next three [G] years, he would have three [C] number one albums_
_and
ten [Am] top five hit singles.
I remember backstage at Wembley, we did these two _ _ _ concerts_
_ _and
Ringo Starr was the director of it.
_ He said, as a Beatle, I've never seen anything like this.
He says, those [G] girls are crazy.
[Em] _
And they were.
Fame and adulation had a noticeable effect on the ambitious Starr.
[A] _ Fancy _ size, _ fancy clothes _ Everybody
It _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ went bigger than anyone could believe at times_
_and
then eventually _ [N] you start to believe it a little too far.
And he already had that in him anyway, with or without it.
He already had that confidence and that swagger.
[Am] He was totally selfish, [G] in a nice way.
I mean, I'm not saying he was a bad person.
But he was all about me, me, me, me all the time.
And there was really nothing worth talking about_
_unless
it pertained to his career.
What's up?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Did he know what he had when he had it at the time?
_ I have to wonder.
_ [C] _
_ Whatever _ [F] happened to the T [C]-Rex 3?
_ [E] _ _ _ _
_ By 1974, Mark Starr was [C#] waning.
His [C] original teen fans [A] had grown up and moved on.
[F] New teenagers were looking for their own [Gm] heroes.
When the T-Rex singles started to [A] sell less_
_I
think that was quite traumatic for him.
And the combination of getting quite _ pudgy_
_and
starting to drink too much [G] brandy and starting to do _ cocaine_
_I
think he just lost his way, you know.
He was only ever meant to be a star for kind of three years.
He had his moment in the sun.
I don't think it was ever gonna last anymore, but he couldn't handle that.
Life's a _ game
_ _ [E] He [D] was stuck in some [G] kind of teenage dream.
_ And I hope it's gonna _ last You're right.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ [G] Put the radio on. _ _
And last night, and the news and also last night_
_Pop
star Mark Boland killed in a car crash. _ _ _ _
On the 16th [Em] of September, _ _ 1977_
_Mark
Boland and girlfriend Gloria [G] _ Jones_
_were
involved in a serious car accident.
[Em] Mark died instantly.
My reaction [G#] was one of [Fm]
stunned disbelief.
And it shook [G] me up [C] a little bit_
_because
[G#] Mark, apart from being [A#] a client, was [F] a friend.
I was dancing when I was [C] _
out
You know, I mean, it was kind of unbelievable.
It [G] really affected me.
_ _ [D#] _
I felt a really [Em] sad loss. _ _
[G] _ I dance myself right out the [Em] womb
He was like James Dean, you know.
Like, [F] you know, die young and leave a good corpse.
[G] He had that fascination with that.
And he talked about it a lot, and unfortunately he got it, you know.
And my mom raised him well.
I'm alive here, and I'm proud.
But, you know, I know for sure he wished he would_
I know for [A] sure he wanted to [Em] live. _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
