Rubber Band
David Bowie
David Bowie - Rubber Band Intro is played on a tuba. Rubber Band There’s a rubber band that plays tunes out of tune In the library garden Sunday afternoon While a little chappie waves a golden wand Rubber Band In 1910 I was so handsome and so strong My moustache was stiffly waxed and one foot long And I loved a girl while you played teatime tunes Dear Rubber Band you’re playing my tune out of tune oh Rubber Band Won’t you play a haunting theme again to me While I eat my scones and drink my cup of tea The sun is warm but it’s a lonely afternoon Solo chords: | | | | | |/|/| | | Trumpet solo: (instead of the bracketed note Repeat: play this for the last time.)
