Blackstar chords by David Bowie

Guitar chords with lyrics

B
In the villa of Ormen, in the villa of Ormen
Stands a solitary candle,
C   D    Em  C
ah-ah, ah-ah
D     C                        Bm     Am
In the centre of it all, in the centre of it all
D       B
Your eyes

On the day of execution, on the day of execution
Only women kneel and smile, ah-ah, ah-ah
At the centre of it all, at the centre of it all
Your eyes, your eyes

D    C    Em
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah

In the villa of Ormen, in the villa of Ormen
Stands a solitary candle, ah-ah, ah-ah
In the centre of it all, in the centre of it all
Your eyes
Ah-ah-ah

F#                        Db
Something happened on the day he died
E                       B
Spirit rose a metre and stepped aside
                  D                     F#
Somebody else took his place, and bravely cried
(I'm a blackstar, I'm a blackstar)

How many times does an angel fall?
How many people lie instead of talking tall?
He trod on sacred ground, he cried loud into the crowd
(I'm a blackstar, I'm a blackstar, I'm not a gangster)

C
I can't answer why (I'm a blackstar)
Db
Just go with me (I'm not a filmstar)
C
I'm-a take you home (I'm a blackstar)
Db
Take your passport and shoes (I'm not a popstar)
C
And your sedatives, boo (I'm a blackstar)
Db
You're a flash in the pan (I'm not a marvel star)
C
I'm the great I am (I'm a blackstar)

F#                      Db                      E
I'm a blackstar, way up, oh honey, I've got game
                Ebm
I see right so white, so open-heart it's pain
D                                       F#
I want eagles in my daydreams, diamonds in my eyes
(I'm a blackstar, I'm a blackstar)

F#                        Db
Something happened on the day he died
E                       B
Spirit rose a metre and stepped aside
                  D                     F#
Somebody else took his place, and bravely cried
(I'm a blackstar, I'm a blackstar)

C
I can't answer why (I'm not a gangster)
Db
But I can tell you how (I'm not a flam star)
C
We were born upside-down (I'm a star star)
Db
Born the wrong way ?round (I'm not a white star)
C
(I'm a blackstar, I'm not a gangster
I'm a blackstar, I'm a blackstar
I'm not a pornstar, I'm not a wandering star
I'm a blackstar, I'm a blackstar)

In the villa of Ormen stands a solitary candle
Ah-ah, ah-ah
At the centre of it all, your eyes
On the day of execution, only women kneel and smile
Ah-ah, ah-ah
At the centre of it all, your eyes, your eyes
Ah-ah-ah
