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.
