Watch That Man by David Bowie

Submitted by: graetchen

This is just the chords version with lyrics. It's based off of my tab.
This is also my first tab of just chords, so hopefully it comes out right.
There is a chord chart at the bottom.

Tuning: Standard


INTRO (played twice): G, Cadd9, Em, Chord diagramA augmentedA

VERSE 1:
Chord diagramA augmentedA
Shakey threw a party that lasted all night
Chord diagramD MajorD
Everybody drank a lot of something nice
              Chord diagramE MajorE
There was an old fashioned band of married men
                        Chord diagramF# minorF#m
Looking up to me for encouragement - it was so-so

Chord diagramA augmentedA
The ladies looked bad but the music was sad
Chord diagramD MajorD
No one took their eyes off Lorraine
     Chord diagramE MajorE
She shimmered and she strolled like a Chicago moll
                               Chord diagramF# minorF#m
Her feathers looked better and better - it was so-so

BRIDGE:
Chord diagramD MajorD           Chord diagramA augmentedA
Yea! it was time to unfreeze
         Chord diagramBB                        Chord diagramD MajorD
When the Reverend Alabaster danced on his knees
Chord diagramD MajorD           Chord diagramA augmentedA
Slam! so it wasn't a game
Chord diagramE MajorE
Cracking all the mirrors in shame

CHORUS:

He talks like a jerk but he could eat you with a fork and spoon

Watch that man! Oh honey, watch that man
   Chord diagramD MajorD                         Chord diagramC majorC                         Chord diagramBB
He walks like a jerk, but he's only taking care of the room
           Chord diagramC majorC
Must be in tune

INTRO again: G, Cadd9, Em, A, G, Cadd9, Em, Chord diagramA augmentedA
VERSE 2:
Chord diagramA augmentedA
Chord diagramA augmentedA Benny Goodman fan painted holes in his hands
   Chord diagramD MajorD
So Shakey hung him up to dry
    Chord diagramE MajorE
The pundits were joking, the manholes were smoking and every bottle battled
         Chord diagramF# minorF#m
with the reason why
    Chord diagramA augmentedA
The girl on the phone wouldn't leave me alone
  Chord diagramD MajorD
Chord diagramA augmentedA throw back from someone's LP
  Chord diagramE MajorE
Chord diagramA augmentedA lemon in a bag played the Tiger Rag
                                     Chord diagramF# minorF#m
And the bodies on the screen stopped bleeding

BRIDGE 2:
Chord diagramD MajorD           Chord diagramA augmentedA
Yeah! I was shaking like a leaf
      Chord diagramBB                           Chord diagramD MajorD
For I couldn't understand the conversation
Chord diagramD MajorD        Chord diagramA augmentedA                 Chord diagramE MajorE
Yeah! I ran to the street, looking for information

CHORUS 2:

Chord diagramA augmentedA     Chord diagramD MajorD    Chord diagramG+G                         Chord diagramC majorC
Watch that man! Oh honey, watch that man
   Chord diagramD MajorD                              Chord diagramC majorC                       Chord diagramG+G
He talks like a jerk but he could eat you with a fork and spoon

Watch that man! Oh honey, watch that man
   Chord diagramD MajorD                         Chord diagramC majorC                         Chord diagramBB
He walks like a jerk, but he's only taking care of the room
           Chord diagramC majorC
Must be in tune
