Blackout chords by David Bowie

Intro:
Am G F E

Verse 1:
  Am        G
Oh you, you walk on past
   D
Your lips cut a smile on your face (Your scalding face)
    Am      G
To the cage, to the cage
     D
She was a beauty in a cage

Verse 2:
Am       G
Too, too high a price
  D
To drink rotting wine from your hands (Your fearful hands)
N.C.
Get me to a doctor's I've been told
F *
Someone's back in town, the chips are down
G *
I just cut and blackout
N.C.
I'm under Japanese influence
            Am
And my honour's at stake

Verse 3:
          G
The weather's grim, ice on the cages
         F
Me, I'm Robin Hood and I puff on my cigarette
       E
Panthers are steaming, stalking, screaming

Pre-Chorus:
E
If you don't stay tonight
Am   G        F
I will take that plane tonight
   Am       G       F E
I've nothing to lose, nothing to gain
   Am       G
I'll kiss you in the rain
F           E
Kiss you in the rain (kiss you in the rain)
Am          G
Kiss you in the rain (kiss you in the rain)
F      E
In the rain (In the rain)
          F * G *
Get me to the doctor

Chorus:
Am          G
Get me off the streets (get some protection)
F        E
Get me on my feet (get some direction)
E
Hot air gets me into a blackout
Am             G    F
Oh, get me off the streets
E
Get some protection
Am          G F E
Oh, get me on my feet  (wo-ooh!)

Chorus:
Am
While the streets block off
G             F              E
Getting some skin exposure to the blackout (get some protection)
Am        G  F      E          Am G F E
Get me on my feet  (get some direction, wo-ooh!)
Am          G F E
Oh, get me on my feet
Am G F           E
   Get me off the streets (get some protection)

Outro:
Am G F E
(Repeat until fades out)
