2,575 views, added to favorites 88 times
This version is based off the 2018 remix of Time will crawl by David Bowie (link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjY3ArRz19c ) and an Ukulele chords version (link here: https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/david_bowie/time_will_crawl_ukulele_1348206 ) This version is based on that however that version was very incomplete, this version could also be 10 BPM slower than the original but anyway knock yourself out playing this very simple song.Was this info helpful?

[Intro]
Bm  G  Bm  A  x2
 
[Verse 1]
Bm            G
   I've never sailed on a sea
Bm             A
   I would not challenge a giant
Bm             G
   I could not take on the church
Bm          A
   'Til the 21st century lose
Bm          G
   I know a government man
Bm           A
   He was as blind as the moon, and he
Bm            G
   He saw the sun in the night
Bm           A
   He took a top-gun pilot and he
Bm             G
   He made him fly through a hole
Bm         A
   'Til he grew real old, and he
Bm        G
   And he never came down
Bm         A
   He just flew till he burst
 
[Chorus 1]
          Bm
Time will crawl
         G
'Til our mouths run dry
          Bm
Time will crawl
         A
'Til our feet grow small
          Bm
Time will crawl
         G
'Til our tails fall off
          Bm
Time will crawl
         A
'Til the 21st century lose
 
Bm  G  Bm  A
 
[Verse 2]
Bm         G
   I saw a black, black stream
Bm         A
   Full of white eyed fish
Bm       G
   And a drowning man
Bm         A
   With no eyes at all
Bm          G
   I felt a warm, warm breeze
Bm             A
   That melted metal and steel
Bm         G
   I got a bad migraine
Bm             A
   That lasted three long years
Bm         G
   And the pills that I took
Bm         A
   Made my fingers disappear
 
[Chorus 2]
          Bm     G
Time will crawl
          Bm     A/C#
Time will crawl
          Bm
Time will crawl
         G             Bm
'Til the 21st century lose
A
  (Go!)
 
[Interlude]
Bm  G  Bm  A            Bm
             Time will crawl
G            Bm     A
   Time will crawl
 
[Verse 3]
Bm            G
   You were a talented child
Bm             A
   You came to live in our town
Bm          G
   We never bothered to scream
Bm           A
   When your mask went off
Bm         G
   We only smelt the gas
Bm       A
   As we lay down to sleep
 
[Chorus 1]
          Bm
Time will crawl
        G
And our heads bowed down
          Bm
Time will crawl
        A
And our eyes fall out
          Bm
Time will crawl
        G
And the streets run red
          Bm
Time will crawl
         A             Bm
'Til the 21st century lose
 
        G
And our mouths run dry
          Bm
Time will crawl
        A
And our feet grow small
          Bm
Time will crawl
        G
And our tails fall off
          Bm
Time will crawl
         A             Bm
'Til the 21st century lose
 
        G
And our heads bowed down
          Bm
Time will crawl
        A
And our eyes fall out
          Bm
Time will crawl
        G
And the streets run red
          Bm
Time will crawl
         A             Bm
'Til the 21st century lose
 
[Outro]
G            Bm
   Time will crawl
        A/C#
For the crazy child
          Bm
Time will crawl
                 G
We'll give every life
          Bm
Time will crawl
                 A             Bm
For the crackpot notion
        'Til the 21st century lose
G            Bm
   Time will crawl
 
A/C#  Bm  G  Bm  A
(fade out with ad-lib vocals)
