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. A – C – Bb – F – C - A – C – Bb – F – C - A …..
