David Bowie - All the madmen
Intro: G E G E A G E
Verse:
E
Day after day
E7 E
They send my friends away
E7 E
To mansions cold and grey
F
To the far side of town
Dm7 E
Where the thin men stalk the streets
F E
While the sane stay underground
E
Day after day
E7 E
They tell me I can go
E7 E
They tell me I can blow
F
To the far side of town
Dm7 E
Where it's pointless to be high
F E
'Cause it's such a long way down
So I tell them that
Break:
E
I can fly
E
I will scream
E F
I will break my arm
Dm7 E
I will do me harm
E
Here I stand
E
foot in hand
E F
talking to my wall
Dm7 E
I'm not quite right at all...am I?
Pre Chorus:
F
Don't set me free
G
I'm as heavy as can be
F
Just my librium and me
E
And my E.S.T. make three
Chorus:
A
'Cause I'd rather stay here
E
With all the madmen
F#m A C#
Than perish with the sadmen roaming free
A
And I'd rather play here
E
With all the madmen
F#m A Bm
For I'm quite content they're all as sane as me
E A F#m Bm G
(Silence 12 beats or so)
Where can the horizon lie
When a nation hides
Its organic minds
In a cellar...
dark and grim
They must be very dim
Verse:
E
Day after day
E7 E
They take some brain away
E7 E
Then turn my face around
F
To the far side of town
Dm7 E
And tell me that it's real
F E
Then ask me how I feel
Break:
E E E F Dm7 E E
E
Here I stand
E
foot in hand
E F
talking to my wall
Dm7 E
I'm not quite right at all
Pre Chorus:
F
Don't set me free
G
I'm as helpless as can be
F
My libido's split on me
E
Gimme some good 'ol lobotomy
Chorus:
A
'Cause I'd rather stay here
E
With all the madmen
F#m A C#
Than perish with the sadmen roaming free
A
And I'd rather play here
E
With all the madmen
F#m A Bm
For I'm quite content they're all as sane as me
E
A
Zane, Zane, Zane
F#m
Ouvre le Chien
Bm
Zane, Zane, Zane
G
Ouvre le Chien
x10 and fade
END.
