LIFE ON MARS? from Hunky Dory


FF   F/E          F7F7
It's a God awful small affair
    D7D7
To the girl with the mousy hair
G minorGm   Gm7Gm7
But her mummy is yelling no
C majorC    C7C7          FF
And her daddy has told her to go
    F/E           F7F7
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
    D7D7
Now she walks through her sunken dream
G minorGm   Gm7Gm7
To the seat with the clearest view
C majorC     C7C7
And she's hooked to the silver screen
Ab/Eb   Ab#5/E
But the film is a saddening bore
F minorFm    Ab7Ab7
For she's lived it ten times or more
DbDb    A augmentedA
She could spit in the eyes of fools
Bb majorBb   BB
As they ask her to focus on

CHORUS 1:
Bb majorBb   Eb MajorEb
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
G minorGm   F#aug5        FF
Oh man look at those cavemen go
F minorFm         Cm7Cm7
It's the freakiest show
EbM7Ebm7        Bb majorBb   Eb MajorEb
Take a look at the lawman beating up the wrong guy
G minorGm   F#aug5          FF
Oh man wonder if he'll ever know
F minorFm            Cm7Cm7
He's in the best selling show
EbM7Ebm7       G minorGm  F#aug5 Bb majorBb Em7dim5
Is there life on mars?

FF    F/E          F7F7
It's on Americas tortured brow
      D MajorD            G minorGm
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
    Gm7Gm7             C majorC
Now the workers have struck for fame
  C7C7
Cos Lennon's on sale again
FF    F/E             F7F7
See the mice in their million hoards
   D MajorD            G minorGm
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
     Gm7Gm7           C majorC
Rule Brittannia is out of bounds
   C7C7
To my mother my dog and clowns
Ab/Eb   Ab#5/E
But the film is a saddening bore
F minorFm   Ab7Ab7
Cause I wrote it ten times or more
DbDb  A augmentedA
It's about to be writ again
Bb majorBb   BB
As they ask her to focus on


CHORUS 2:
Bb majorBb   Eb MajorEb
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
G minorGm   F#aug5        FF
Oh man look at those cavemen go
F minorFm         Cm7Cm7
It's the freakiest show
EbM7Ebm7        Bb majorBb   Eb MajorEb
Take a look at the lawman beating up the wrong guy
G minorGm   F#aug5          FF
Oh man wonder if he'll ever know
F minorFm            Cm7Cm7
He's in the best selling show
EbM7Ebm7       G minorGm  F#aug5 Bb majorBb Em7dim5
Is there life on mars?
