I'm sure most people can figure it out for themselves but this bit is missing a chord:
Bbmaj7 Am9 G9
Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do
There should be an F on do:
Bbmaj7 Am9 G9 F
Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do

This is pretty much perfect- I went to the exhibition on Bowie at the V&A museum in London recently and one of the exhibits contained his handwritten score for this song and it said almost exactly the same as this.
