Battle For Britain by David Bowie






                         Battle For Britain








There's an E based intro that you could play by doing an E(022100) all the
time, or make up for the loss of special effects by playing (X-12-11-12-12-12).

Verse 1:
        B                         F#                            A       A
          My, my, but time do fly, When it's in another pair of hands.
              B                         F#                        A       A
        And a loser I will be, for I've never been a winner in my life.
        (Continue chord pattern)
        I got used to stress and pain, I used the sucker pills,
                and pity for the self.
        Though it's the animal in me, But I'd rather be
                a beggar man on the shelf.


        G                                 F#
        Don't be so forlorn it's just the payoff
                                 E
        It's the rain before the storm.
             G                               F#
        On a better day I'll take you by the hand
                                      E
        And I'll walk you through the door.
        G                                 F#
        Don't be so forlorn it's just the payoff
                                 A
        It's the rain before the storm.

        C                               G
        Don't you let my letter get you down.
        Bb                           F
                                     (Don't you don't you don't you don't you)

Intro thingy 4X or so

        C                               G
        Don't you let my letter get you down.
        Bb                           F
                                     (Don't you don't you don't you don't you)

Intro fade away








--------------------





My, my, the time do fly
When it's in another pair of hands
And a loser I will be
For I've never been a winner in my life

I got used to stressing pain
I used the sucker pills to pity for the self
Oh, it's the animal in me
But I'd rather be a beggarman on the shelf

Don't be so forlorn, it's just the payoff
It's the rain before the storm
On a better day, I'll take you by the hand
And I'll walk you through the doors

Don't be so forlorn, it's just the payoff
It's the rain before the storm
Don't you let my letter get you down
Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you

My, my, but time do fly
When it's in another pair of pants
And illusion I will be
For I've never been a sinner, la di da

Don't be so forlorn, it's just the payoff
It's the rain before the storm
Don't you let my letter get you down
Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you

nwod uoy teg rettel ym tel uoy t'nod

Don't you let my letter get you down, down, down, down
Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you
Don't you let my letter get you down, down, down, down
Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you

Down, down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
