LIFE ON MARS'- David Bowie
G G/F# Dm/F E7 Am
It's a god-awful small affair to the girl with the mousy hair
But her mAm/Gother is yelling D/F#"No" and her father as toGld her to go
G/F# Dm/F
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
as she wE7alks through her sunken dAmream
To the sAm/Geat with the clearest D/F#view
and she's hooked to the silver sBbcreen
Bb+ Gm
But the film is a saddening bore
For she's liG#ved it ten times or mEbore
She could sG7pit in the eyes of foCmols as they Ebask her to focus on
CHORUS:
SaCilors, figFhting in the dance hGall
OAmh man! lFmook at those cavemen gGo, Gm it's a freakest sDmhow
FmTake a look at the LaCwman, bFeating up the wrong gGuy
AmOh man! FmWonder if he'll ever knGowGm he's in the best selling Dmshow
Fm Am C+ Am7 D7 F Gsus4 D
Is there life on Mars'
It's on Amerika's tortured brow
Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
>From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Brittania is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
'Cause I wrote it ten times before
It's about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on ...CHORUS

NOTE: For the verse, pick with the following pattern- the base note and
first and second strings all simultaneously, then the third string. For
the chorus, strum.
