Letter to Hermione - David Bowie
(from Space Oddity album)
This is one of the most beautiful songs from Bowie. I've been looking for
it for some time but I haven't been able to find it so I thougt I'd figure
it out myself. If you listen to the record you can hear that there are more
than one guitar, or at least a twelve-string.

Verse1.
The Am7hand that wrote this letter Sweeps the C/Gpillow clean
Am7So rest your head and read a C/Gtreasured dream
Em7sus4I care for no one else but Em*you
I tear my soul to cease the C/G*pain
I think maybe you feel the Em7sus4*same
What can we Em*do'
C/G*I'm not quite sure what we're suEm7sus4pposed to do
Em*So I've been writing just for you
Verse2.
They say your life is going very well
They say you sparkle like a different girl
But something tells me that you hide
When all the world is warm and tired
You cry a little in the dark
Well so do I
I'm not quite sure what you're supposed to say
But I can see it's not okay
Verse3.
He makes you laugh
He brings you out in style
He treats you well
And makes you up real fine
And when he's strong
He's strong for you
And when you kiss
It's something new
But did you ever call my name
Just by mistake'
I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to do
So I'll just write some love to you
