Dead Man Walking
David Bowie
This is an acoustic version of David Bowie’s dance/rock track from his album Earthling. a video of him playing it on Conan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n22ImOPXOnw Tuned down one step. [Intro] | F | " | G | " | 4x Alternate lifting the finger off of the low E string. listen to the recording to get timing. [Verse 1] (Basically repeat the intro but without lifting off from the low E): He swivels his head Tears his eyes from the screen As his past puts him back in Atlantic City There’s not even a demon in Heaven or Hell Is it all just human disguise? As I walk down the aisle [Chorus] And I’m gone gone gone Now I’m older than movies And I know who’s there When silhouettes fall And I’m gone Like I’m dancing on angels And I’m gone through a crack in the past Like a dead man walking (repeat intro through this part) Like a dead man walking [Verse] Three old men dancing under the lamplight Shaking their sex and their bones And the boys that we were An alien nation in therapy Sliding naked and new Like a bad tempered child On a rain slicked street | F | " | G | " | 4x [Chorus] And I’m gone gone gone Now I’m older than movies And I know who’s there When silhouettes fall And I’m gone Like I’m dancing on angels And I’m gone through a crack in the past after this he does a short instrumental section that i don’t really know. I think it’s a chromatic walk up from F. [Chorus] And I’m gone gone gone Now I’m older than movies And I know who’s there When silhouettes fall And I’m gone Like I’m dancing on angels And I’m gone through a crack in the past
