Chords with lyrics

Hang On To Yourself
	(words & music by David Bowie)


This song is featured off of Bowie's -The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust
and the Spiders From Mars- album. It is quite simple and fun to play as
are most of Bowie~s songs. Before I write down the chords, I must explain
that the chords G5* and B5* are played respectively:

 G5*

E MajorE --3-3--3-3--3-3--3-3--3-3-3-
BB --3-3--3-3--3-3--3-3--3-3-3- (of course, it would be auspicious to
G+G --0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0-0-  accent the bass notes to give it that
D MajorD --0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0-0-  cool song that the song cannot live
A augmentedA --x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x-x-  without. -h- stands for hammer-on)
E MajorE --2h3--3-3--2h3--3-3--2h3-3-

 B5*

E MajorE ----------------------------
BB ----------------------------
G+G --4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4-4- (this time instead of hammering on, it
D MajorD --4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4-4-  would be better to slide from the first
A augmentedA --1s2--2-2--1s2--2-2--1s2-2-  fret to the second playing B5*)
E MajorE ----------------------------
