LIFE ON MARS? from Hunky Dory


F      F/E                    F7
It's a God awful small affair
       D7
To the girl with the mousy hair
Gm      Gm7
But her mummy is yelling no
C       C7                    F
And her daddy has told her to go
        F/E                     F7
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
        D7
Now she walks through her sunken dream
Gm     Gm7
To the seat with the clearest view
C         C7
And she's hooked to the silver screen
Ab/Eb      Ab#5/E
But the film is a saddening bore
Fm        Ab7
For she's lived it ten times or more
Db        A
She could spit in the eyes of fools
Bb      B
As they ask her to focus on

CHORUS 1:
Bb      Eb
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Gm     F#aug5                F
Oh man look at those cavemen go
Fm                 Cm7
It's the freakiest show
Ebm7               Bb     Eb
Take a look at the lawman beating up the wrong guy
Gm     F#aug5                   F
Oh man wonder if he'll ever know
Fm                       Cm7
He's in the best selling show
Ebm7             Gm    F#aug5  Bb  Em7dim5
Is there life on mars?

F        F/E                   F7
It's on Americas tortured brow
            D                        Gm
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
        Gm7                          C
Now the workers have struck for fame
    C7
Cos Lennon's on sale again
F       F/E                          F7
See the mice in their million hoards
      D                       Gm
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
         Gm7                     C
Rule Brittannia is out of bounds
      C7
To my mother my dog and clowns
Ab/Eb      Ab#5/E
But the film is a saddening bore
Fm      Ab7
Cause I wrote it ten times or more
Db    A
It's about to be writ again
Bb      B
As they ask her to focus on


CHORUS 2:
Bb      Eb
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Gm     F#aug5                F
Oh man look at those cavemen go
Fm                 Cm7
It's the freakiest show
Ebm7               Bb     Eb
Take a look at the lawman beating up the wrong guy
Gm     F#aug5                   F
Oh man wonder if he'll ever know
Fm                       Cm7
He's in the best selling show
Ebm7             Gm    F#aug5  Bb  Em7dim5
Is there life on mars?
