Watch That Man by David Bowie

Tabs

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
			  Watch That Man - David Bowie
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: adslam3

While at home with H1N1, I realized that his song has not been tabbed.
So I am going to try to correct this with the following.
Also, due to the fact that I have an insane amount of downtime, expect
a chords version with lyrics soon.

Tuning: Standard - This is a tab just for the Rhythm Guitar

NOTE: This song has some "surf rock" strumming in the verses that I will try
to show but overall I'm NOT SHOWING EXACT STRUMMING as the chord changes
are easy to hear.

Intro: (repeate twice)

Chord diagramE MajorE|-----3~-----------------0-----------5-5-5-5-------------------------------|
                   ^^^^^^^ This is the "surf rock" stuff

Verses: This is played twice for each verse. Remember: strumming NOT exact!

Chord diagramE MajorE|--5-5-5-5-----------------------2-2-2-2-----------------------------------|
Note: When listening to the song, you'll notice the Chord diagramE MajorE is strummed longer
than the other chords.

Now go back to the Intro, then verse, then bridge, then chorus, then this:

Ending: (where bowie & co sing "watch that man" over and over again)
Just repeate the following chords and listen for the changes

And that's it! Sorry I don't have Mick's guitar part. It's fantastic and
I'm not that good to figure it out. But enjoy this so you can play it on
your own.
