The Cygnet Committee chords by David Bowie

Chords with lyrics

This song took me two hours to figure out. It is probably, in my opinion,
one of the greatest David Bowie songs. It is off of -Space Oddity- and
quite a track coming in at over nine minutes. It is quite a piece moving
through so many key changes and other things. Those are things
characteristic of -Space Oddity-, figuring out songs off that album is
quite difficult. I was quite frustrated trying to get some of it but now
that I got all of it, I am quite proud and happy I did it. I hope you
enjoy this, (it took me a really strenuous long time to do but I did
enjoy doing it anyway):
