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 --3-3--3-3--3-3--3-3--3-3-3- B --3-3--3-3--3-3--3-3--3-3-3- (of course, it would be auspicious to G --0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0-0- accent the bass notes to give it that D --0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0-0- cool song that the song cannot live A --x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x-x- without. -h- stands for hammer-on) E --2h3--3-3--2h3--3-3--2h3-3-
B5* E ---------------------------- B ---------------------------- G --4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4-4- (this time instead of hammering on, it D --4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4-4- would be better to slide from the first A --1s2--2-2--1s2--2-2--1s2-2- fret to the second playing B5*) E ---------------------------- The song with the chords are: D C G5* D C G5* F#m A Well she is a tongue...
