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?


SOLO: F F#dim Gm G#dim Am Bb
Bbm


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?
