David Bowie - Life on Mars
Capo on 2:nd fret if you want to play it in the original key
Vers 1:
D D/C# D/C
It's a god-awful small affair
B7 Em
To the girl with the mousy hair
Em/D
But her mummy is yelling "No"
A D
And her daddy has told her to go
D/C# D/C
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
B7 Em
Now she walks through her sunken dream
Em/D A
To the seat with the clearest view
F/C
And she's hooked to the silver screen
A/C# Dm
But the film is a saddening bore
F/Eb Bb
'Cause she's lived it ten times or more
D/F# Gm
She could spit in the eyes of fools
Bb/Ab
As they ask her to focus on
Refräng:
G C
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Em Eb+ D Dm
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
Am Cm
It's the freakiest show
G
Take a look at the Lawman
C
Beating up the wrong guy
Em Eb+ D Dm
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
Am Cm
He's in the best selling show
Em Em/D# Em/D Em/C#
Is there life on Mars?
Vers 2:
D D/C# D/C
It's on Amerika's tortured brow
B7 Em
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Em/D A
Now the workers have struck for fame
D
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
D/C# D/C
See the mice in their million hordes
B7 Em
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Em/D A
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
F/C
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
A/C# Dm
But the film is a saddening bore
F/Eb Bb
'Cause I wrote it ten times or more
D/F# Gm
It's about to be writ again
Bb/Ab
As I ask you to focus on
Refräng:
G C
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Em Eb+ D Dm
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
Am Cm
It's the freakiest show
G
Take a look at the Lawman
C
Beating up the wrong guy
Em Eb+ D Dm
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
Am Cm
He's in the best selling show
Em Em/D# Em/D Em/C#
Is there life on Mars?

The "F" is an "F/C", which I actually wrote but it got changed some way when it was uploaded.
dude... nice... soooo nice! i've wanted to play this on guitar for sooo long! now i just need to remember all of these awkward chords O_o haha. awesome job! thanks for sharing it! unngg i can't wait to get this tight so i can sing along.
Pretty good, the D/C kinda works, but should really be Am6/C (x3424x)
The A/C# should be an Aaug/C# (x4322x), the F/Eb an F7/Eb (xx1211),the D/F# an Daug/F# (xx4332), and the Bb/Ab a Bb7/Ab (45444x)
The original key is F, so the capo should be at the 3rd fret, not the second, for this to match.
The missing lead breaks sequence is D - Ebdim - Em - Fdim/B - F#m - G - Gm
