Hi, After I cleaned the wax out of my ears I noticed
some mistakes in my transcription of David Bowie's
"Song for Bob Dylan" so I hereby send you the correct version.

Song for Bob Dylan - David Bowie
Transcribed by Foena
Hunky Dory (1971)
Intro: A Abm F#m E Esus4(VII)
A E 7 F#m B Bsus4
AHear this RobertAbm Zimmerman
F#m E Esus4(VII)
I wrote a song for you
AAbout a strange younAbmg man called Dylan
With a voiceF# like Esand and glue
Some words Abmin truthful vengeance C#m7
Could pin uBs to the Afloor
F#mBrought a few more people on E
Put the fear Ain a whole lot more B7
Chorus:
AAh, here she comes
AHere she comes
DHere she comes again A
AThe same old painted lady
>E;From the brow of the superbrain
She 'll scraF#mtch this world to pieces
As she comes Gon like an friend
But a coupAle of songs
>From yAour old scrapbook
Could send hEer home again
You gave your heart to every bedsit room
At least a picture on the wall
Sat behind a million pair of eyes
And told them how they saw
Then we lost your train of thought
The paintings are all your own
While troubles are rising
We'd rather be scared
Together than alone
Chorus:
Repeat intro:
Now hear this Robert Zimmerman
Though I don't suppose we 'll meet
Ask your good friend Dylan
If he'd gaze a while down the old street
Tell him they've lost his poems
So they're writing on the walls
Give us back our unity
Give us back our family
F#mYou're every nation's refugee Abm
ADon't leave us wiBth their sanity
Chorus:
Ah, here she comes
Here she comes
Here she comes again
The same old painted lady
>From the brow of the superbrain
She 'll scratch this world to pieces
As she comes on like an friend
But a couple of songs
>From your old scrapbook
Could send her home again
GCouple of songs
G>From your old scrapbook
Could send here home again A
Ah, here she comes D
HerAe she comes
HereD she comes
Outro: A Abm F#m E Esus4(VII)
A Abm F#m B E
That's about it, it may not be perfect but it 'll give you a way
To get started. (I'm not sure about E or E7 & B or B7 ?)
Note: E means the E chord seventh fret, ad the sus4 with your
pinky (tenth fret, second string).
Have fun,
Foena
