Coversong
Made famous and written by David Bowie
A
1. As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent,
E
you asked for the latest party,
D
with your silicone hump and your ten inch stump,
A dressed like a priest you was, Todd Browning’s freak you was.
A Crawling down the alley on your hands and knees,
E I’m sure you’re not protected, for it’s plain to see,
D the Diamond Dogs are poachers and they hide behind trees,
A hurt you to the ground they will, mannequins will kill appeal.
E
(Will they come?) I’ll keep you a friend serene,
G
(Will they come?) oh, baby, come onto me,
A
(Come on!) well she’s come, been and gone.
D Come out of the garden, baby,
A you’ll catch your death in the fog.
B7 D A
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs.
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs.
A
2. Now, Halloween Jack is a real cool cat,
E
and he lives on the top of Manhattan Chase,
D
the elevator’s broke, so he slides down a rope,
A on the streets below. Oh, Tarzie go, man, go.
A Meets his little hussy with his ghost town approach,
E her face is sans feature, but she wears a Dali brooch.
D Sweetly reminiscent, something mother used to bake,
A wrecked up and paralysed, Diamond Dogs are sableized.
E D A
Hu hu hu, call them the Diamond Dogs.
E D
Hu hu hu, call them the Diamond Dogs.
A – C – Bb – F – C A – C – Bb – F – C - A ~
A 3. In the year of the scavenger, the season of the bitch,
E sashay on the boardwalk, scurry to the ditch.
D Just another future song, lonely little kitsch,
A there’s gonna be sorrow, try and wake up tomorrow.
E D A
Hu hu hu, call them the Diamond Dogs. (5x)
E D
Hu hu hu, call them the Diamond Dogs.
