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)
