Subject: BIG BROTHER by David Bowie

this is one of my favourite bowie songs of all time.  it is off of the great
and enigmatic album -diamond dogs-.  it post-cedes 1984.  bowie is just so
great.  but anyway, here we go:


(music starts, bass plays an A note)

Bm (x24432@1)          Adon~t (x02220@1)talk of dust and roses
Bm (x24432@1)         Aor (x02220@1)should we powder our noses?
A (x02220@1)            Gdon~t (320003@1)live for last year~s capers
        D (xx0232@1)                           Egive (022100@1)me steel, give me steel, give me pulses unreal

Bm (x24432@1)          Awe~ll (x02220@1)build a glass asylum
Bm (x24432@1)        Awith (x02220@1)just a hint of mayhem
A (x02220@1)            Gyou~ll (320003@1)build a better whirlpool
         D (xx0232@1)                          Ewe~ll (022100@1)be living from sin, then we can really begin

D (xx0232@1)            G (320003@1)        D (xx0232@1)    Gplease (320003@1)savior, save your shores
D (xx0232@1)          G (320003@1)         Gb (244322@1)    Ahelp (x02220@1)me, i~m graphically yours

            Bm (x24432@1)      G (320003@1)         Asome (x02220@1)one to claim us, some one to follow
            Bm (x24432@1)      G (320003@1)         Asome (x02220@1)one to shame us, some brave apollo
            Bm (x24432@1)     G (320003@1)           Asome (x02220@1)one to fool us, some one like you
