Life On Mars by David Bowie
Life On Mars
F Am/E F7/Eb D7
It's a god-awful small affair, to the girl with the mousy hair
Gm Bb/F C/E C7
But her mother is yelling "No," and her father as told her to go
F Am/E F7/Eb D7
But her friend is nowhere to be seen, as she walks through her sunken dream
Gm Bb/F C/E C7
To the seat with the clearest view, and she's hooked to the silver screen
Ab/Eb Ab+/E Fm Ab7/Gb
But the film is a saddening bore, For she's lived it ten times or more
Db A+ Bbm Db7/B
She could spit in the eyes of fools, as they ask her to focus on
CHORUS:
Bb Eb
Sailors, fighting in the dance hall
Gm Gb+ F
Oh man! look at those cavemen go,
Fm Cm7 Ebm7
it's a freakest show, take a look at the
Bb Eb
Lawman, beating up the wrong guy
Gm Gb+ F
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
Fm Cm7 Ebm7
he's in the best selling show
Gm Gb+ Bb/F C9
Is there life on Mars?
INTERLUDE: F D7/F# Gm E7/G# Am C7/Bb Bbm7
F Am/E F7/Eb D7
It's on Amerika's tortured brow, Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Gm Bb/F C/E C7
Now the workers have struck for fame, Cause Lennon's on sale again
F Am/E F7/Eb D7
See the mice in their million hordes, From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads
Gm Bb/F C/E C7
Rule Brittania is out of bounds, To my mother, my dog and clowns
Ab/Eb Ab+/E Fm Ab7/Gb
But the film is a saddening bore, Cause I wrote it ten times before
Db A+ Bbm Db7/B
It's about to be writ again, As I ask you to focus on
