How Does The Grass Grow? - David Bowie - The Next Day

Intro:
A augmentedA G#G# G+G F#F# FF

Bb majorBb          G#G#
Theres a graveyard by the station
    F#F#
Where the girls wear nylon skirts and
Sandals from Hungary
Bb majorBb
The boys ride their Riga 1s
G#G#
Upon the little hill
F#F#
Such sadness and grief
The trees die standing
Bb majorBb
Thats where we made our trysts
   G#G#
And struggled with our guns
F#F#
Would you still love me
If the clocks could go backwards
Bb majorBb
The girls would fill with blood and
G#G#
The grass would be green again
F#F#
Remember the dead
They were so great
Some of them

Bb majorBb
But I lived a blind life
G#G#
A augmentedA white face in prison
F#F#
But you made a life out of nothing
Now I ride my black horse
Bb majorBb
I miss you more
G#G#
Than youll ever ever know
F#F#
Waiting with my red eyes
And my stone heart

I gaze in defeat
D MajorD
At the stars in the night
E MajorE          G+G     D MajorD
The light in my life burnt away
G#G#      G+G
There will be no tomorrow
F#F#      FF
Then you sigh in your sleep
A augmentedA      E MajorE       D MajorD
And meaning returns with the day
