Never Let Me Down chords by David Bowie

Never Let Me Down
By David Bowie

>From the album of the same name.

Transcribed by Brendon James Brewer.

I declare that this is all my work.

This was actually transcribed from a live version, so if there are
differences to the album version, I will have missed those.
Chord definitions are at the end of the file for all the chords that I used
in the song (a few of them are quite tricky).

Intro:

Dmaj9 D6
E6 E F#m E D A/C#
Dmaj9 D6
E6 E A+


A     A+
 When I...      I called...

F#m     Dmaj11/G
 Trapped...     I called...

Dmaj9     D6       Dmaj9    D6
though...

Dmaj9     D6      Dmaj9    D6
nights...

E     Esus4
danced... ...made...

E      F#m   E D A/C#
shakin'...              ...doing that


2nd verse: Chords are the same.


Chorus:

D     A/C#      A  A9 A  A9             F#m  Dmaj7/F# F#m Dmaj7/F# F#m
Never let me down  She never let me down

  A  A9 A  A9      F#m  Dmaj7/F# F#m Dmaj7/F# F#m
Never let me down     She never let me down


Bridge: Same chords as the start of the verse

3rd verse: Same as other verses.

Then the same as the intro again, except the song finishes on A6.
