It is quite simple and fun to play as are most of Bowie~s songs. Before I write down the chords, I must explain that the chords G5* and B5* are played respectively: G5* E --3-3--3-3--3-3--3-3--3-3-3--| B --3-3--3-3--3-3--3-3--3-3-3--| (of course, it would be auspicious to G --0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0-0--| accent the bass notes to give it that D --0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0-0--| cool song that the song cannot live A --x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x-x--| without. -h- stands for hammer-on) E --2h3--3-3--2h3--3-3--2h3-3--| B5* E ----------------------------| B ----------------------------| G --4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4-4-| (this time instead of hammering on, it D --4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4-4-| would be better to slide from the first A --1s2--2-2--1s2--2-2--1s2-2-| fret to the second playing B5*) E ----------------------------| The song with the chords are: D-C-G5* D-C-G5* F#m A Well she is a tongue twisting storm, she will come to the show tonight Bm F#5-A5-B5* Praying to the light machine F#m A She wants my honey not my money she~s a funky-thigh collector Bm F#5-A5-B5* Laying on electric dreams C D C D So come on, come on, we~ve really got a good thing going C D C Well come on, come on, if you think we~re gonna make it A You better hang on to yourself D-C-G5* D-C-G5* F#m A We can~t dance, we don~t talk much, we just ball and play Bm F#5-A5-B5* But then we move like tigers on vaseline F#m A Well the bitter comes out better on a stolen guitar Bm F#5-A5-B5* You~re the blessed, we~re the spiders from Mars C D C D So come on, come on, we~ve really got a good thing going C D C Well come on, come on, if you think we~re gonna make it A You better hang on to yourself D-C-G5* D-C-G5* Solo Chords: A D A D C D C D So come on, come on, we~ve really got a good thing going C D C Well come on, come on, if you think we~re gonna make it A You better hang on to yourself (and the song ends...or whatever...)
