Tuning: E A D G B E
Credit to brettsanace for this tab, I've modified and simplified it to match (as close I can) the piano version of Bowie playing this. There are definite gaps in this tab, notably around the Em part, but also elsewhere, if people can comment and correct I'd love to update it as I hear back. Pattern 1:
DThere was a Dmaj7time, the laughing time I took my D7heart to every B7party They'd point my Emway "how are you today? " "will you make us laugh? chase A7our blues aDway? " Their funny man won't let them D7down No, he'd Gdance and prance and Gmbe their clown That tDime, the laughing Atime When even a foA7ol learns to Dlove
Pattern 1: The clown turned around And saw her smile, oh how she loved me She'd clap her hands and beg me stay To make her laugh, to make her life gay Who wants the love of all the world When here was love in the eyes of just one girl That day, that precious day When even a fool learns to love Pattern 2:
But oh, how I dreamed, a marvelous D7dream Where Gall of the heavens or Gsus4so it had Gseemed With thunderous Emapplause looked down from aA7bove On a F#mclown and an angel Bmso much in love I'll stay with my Emdream, it takes such a Adream And even a foAsus4ol learns to Dlove
Pattern 1: That day, that hateful day The joke turned stale, the game was over Those spiteful words "oh, go away. who wants to play? " "it's getting late now." My world, my funny world Had lost it's mask and shown a broken heart A time, a sour time When even a fool learns to love Pattern 2: But oh, how I dreamed, a marvelous dream Where all of the heavens or so it had seemed With thunderous applause looked down from above On a clown and an angel so much in love I'll stay with my dream, it takes such a dream And even a fool learns to love
