Tuning: E A D G B E
Song: Space oddity Artist: David Bowie Composer: David Bowie Album: Space oddity Tabbed by DJ ('DiddyD' at ultimateGuitar.com) 15th Oct 2016 Video of David playing this live on TV in 1969: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRCKPAHUorI Notes on the additional chords: The Fmaj7#11 gives more of a flavour of the studio version, David just played an Fmaj7 on the clip. The F6 to F is suggested by the original Stylophone riff, but David just played an F. The Cadd9 is suggested by the melody, David just stayed on the C. The break and coda is the Fmaj7 chord shape just moved up the neck Please IGNORE ANY POP-UP CHORD BOXES the website might suggest, and use the typed shapes shown below: Fmaj7#11 = 133200 F6 = xx3231 Em = 022000 F * = xx3211 C = 332010 Fm = 133111 Am = x02210 Fmaj7 = x33210 Am/G = 302210 G6 = x55430 D/F# = 200232 Bb = 688766 Cadd9 = x32030 Am * = 577555 E7 = 022130 G = 355433 E = 022100 F = 133211 E5 = 079900 A = 577655 G * = xx5433 A/E = x77650 E/G# = xx6454 C * = 8-10-10-9-8-8 C/G = x-10-10-9-8-0 Dadd9 = x-12-12-11-10-0 Please select a star rating for this tab, many thanks ===================================================== [Intro] Fmaj7#11 Em ||: / / / / | / / / / :||[x4] [Verse 1]
