JANINE- David Bowie
[Intro]
D C G C D D C G C D D C G C D
[Verse1]
D F#m G
Oh my love, Janine, I'm helpless for your smile
E E7 A G D
Like a Polish wanderer I travel onwards to your land
A G F#m
And were it not just for the jewels I'd close your hand
[Verse2]
D F#m G
Your strange demand to 'collocate' my mind
E E7 A
Scares me into gloom, you're too intense
G D
I'll have to keep you in your place
A G F#m
I've no defence, I've got to keep my veil on my face
CHORUS:
D D/C G C G
Janine, Janine, you'd like to know me well
C G F C
But I've got things inside my head that even I can't face
D D/C G C G
Janine, Janine, you'd like to crash my walls
C G
But if you take an axe to me
F C
you'll kill another man
D C G C D D C G C D
Not me at all
[Verse3]
D F#m G
You're fey, Janine, a tripper to the last
E E7 A
But if I catch you standing on my toes
G D
I'll have a right to shout you down
A G F#m
For you're a lazy stream, in which my thoughts would drown
[Verse4]
D F#m G
So stay, Janine, and we can glide along
E E7
I've caught your wings for laughs
A G D
I'm not obliged to read your statements of the year
A G F#m
So take your glasses off and don't act so sincere
CHORUS
D C G C D (repeat and ad lib)
