Like A Rocket Man chords by David Bowie

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)



Intro:

Fm  Ab

Verse 1:


C                             Em
Little wendy cocaine stumbles up the hill to pain
F                             Ab                 C               Am
Nothing stops the go-to girl, nothing takes the place of taking aim
C                                 Em
Little wendy's out there shaking hips and cuckoo eyes
F

Crazy drives that dizzy crowd
Ab                     C                Am
Moonlight strokes the highlights in her hair

Chorus:

Am  F
She sells and moves and finds my hand
     Bb                               F
And pulls me down and close so I can hardly stand
F                                Bb                           F
As I lay like dead for her, I'm fed into my head I'm led, oh, I am sand
     B                                  Bb
I'm crawling from the window, crawling down the wall
                     F
I'm happy screaming, yes, I am
     B
I'm jumping on her daisy chain
     Bb                                    F
I'm speeding through the dancehall like a rocket man


Verse 2:

C                            Em
Now I wish today that yesterday was just tomorrow and
F
I could squeeze her grabby hand
Ab              C             Am
Knowing that I never paid her for a gram

 F
She's a drunken doxy off her trolly
 Bb                             F
Sent before her time into this poxy world
F                               Bb
She's not fit for anything but dealing it
                       F
While heaven sings, I have this girl
       B
She's got me eating rice and beans
   Bb                                 F
I have no shape nor color, I'm god's lonely man
   B                             Bb
I don't want to die but I don't want to live
                     F
I'm speeding like a rocket man
