If You Can See Me chords by David Bowie

Tuning: Standard EBGDAE

Difficulty: Novice

F# - G# - A#m - G# - A#m - C - C#

C#
If you can see me I can see you

E - Fm

E
I could wear your new blue shoes
E
I should wear your old red dress
E

And walk to the crossroads
E
So take this knife
Fm
And meet me across the river

E
Just chutes and ladders and this is the kiss
E
American Anna, fantastic Alsatian
E
From nowhere to nothing
Fm
And I go way back

E
Children swarm like thousands of bugs
E
Towards the lights the beacons above the hill
E                                 Fm
The stars to the West, the South, the North and to the East

F#                G#
Now you could say I've got a gift of sorts
A#m                        G#
A fear of rear windows and swinging doors
A#m                    C
A love of violence and dread of sighs

C#
If you can see me I can see you
C#
If you can see me I can see you

E - Fm

E
I have seen these bairns wave their fists at God
E
Swear to destroy the beasts, stamping the ground
         Fm
In their excitement for tomorrow
E
I could wear your new blue shoes
E
I should wear your old red dress
E
And walk to the crossroads
E
So take this knife
Fm
And meet me across the river

F#                         G#
I will take your lands and all that lays beneath
A#m                       G#
The dust of cold flowers, prison of dark of ashes
A#m                   C
I will slaughter your kind who descend from belief
C#
I am the spirit of greed, a lord of theft
C#
I'll burn all your books and the problems they make

C#
If you can see me I can see you
C#
