Life On Mars.
David Bowie.
Album: Hunky Dory.
Intro: F
Am/E Eb Eb6
It's a god-awful small affair,
D Gm
To the girl with the mousy hair,
Bb/F C7
But her mummy is yelling, "No!"
F
And her daddy has told her to go,
Am/E Eb6
But her friend is nowhere to be seen,
D7 Gm D Gm
Now she walks through her sunken dream,
Bb/F C
To the seat with the clearest view,
C Ab/Eb
And she's hooked to the silver screen.
E Fm F#
But the film is a saddening bore,
Gb Db
For she's lived it ten times or more,
Aaug Bbm
She could spit in the eyes of fools,
C#7/E#
As they ask her to focus on.
Chorus:
Bb Eb Gm7
Sailors, fighting in the dance hall,
F#aug F Fm
Oh man! look at those cavemen go,
Cm7 Ebm7
It's the freakiest show,
Bb
Take a look at the Lawman,
Eb Gm
Beating up the wrong guy,
F#aug F Fm
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know,
Cm7 Ebm
He's in the best selling show,
Gm7 F#aug Bb/F
Is there life on Mars?
Break: Em7 F F# Gm Ddim Am Bb F
Am/E C/E Eb6
It's on America's tortured brow,
D Gm
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow,
Bb/F C7
Now the workers have struck for fame,
F
Cause Lennon's on sale again,
Am/E Eb6
See the mice in their million hordes,
D7 Gm7
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads,
Bb/F C7
Rule Britannia is out of bounds,
C Ab/Eb
To my mother, my dog, and clowns.
E Fm F#
But the film is a saddening bore,
Gb Db
Cause I wrote it ten times or more,
Aaug Bbm
It's about to be writ again,
C#7/E#
As I ask her to focus on.
Chorus:
Bb Eb Gm7
Sailors, fighting in the dance hall,
F#aug F Fm
Oh man! look at those cavemen go,
Cm7 Ebm7
It's the freakiest show,
Bb
Take a look at the Lawman,
Eb Gm
Beating up the wrong guy,

Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know,

He's in the best selling show,
Gm7 F#aug Bb/F
Is there life on Mars?
