Chords with lyrics

Never Let Me Down
By David Bowie

>From the album of the same name.

Transcribed by Brendon James Brewer.

I declare that this is all my work.

This was actually transcribed from a live version, so if there are
differences to the album version, I will have missed those.
Chord definitions are at the end of the file for all the chords that I used
in the song (a few of them are quite tricky).


Intro:

DMaj9Dmaj9 D6D6
E6E6 E MajorE F# minorF#m E MajorE D MajorD A/C#A/C#
DMaj9Dmaj9 D6D6
E6E6 E MajorE A augmentedA+

A augmentedA   A augmentedA+
 When I...   I called...

F# minorF#m   Dmaj11/G
 Trapped...   I called...

DMaj9Dmaj9   D6D6    DMaj9Dmaj9  D6D6
though...

DMaj9Dmaj9   D6D6   DMaj9Dmaj9  D6D6
nights...

E MajorE   Esus4Esus4
danced... ...made...

E MajorE   F# minorF#m  E MajorE D MajorD A/C#A/C#
shakin'...       ...doing that


2nd verse: Chords are the same.


Chorus:

D MajorD   A/C#A/C#   A augmentedA A9A9 A augmentedA A9A9       F# minorF#m Dmaj7/F# F# minorF#m Dmaj7/F# F# minorF#m
Never let me down She never let me down

 A augmentedA A9A9 A augmentedA A9A9   F# minorF#m Dmaj7/F# F# minorF#m Dmaj7/F# F# minorF#m
Never let me down   She never let me down

Bridge: Same chords as the start of the verse

3rd verse: Same as other verses.

Then the same as the intro again, except the song finishes on A6.
