Pushing Through the Market Square
So many mothers sighing
News had just come over
We had 5 years left to cry in
News guy wept and told us
earth eas really dying
Cried so much, his face was wet
Then i knew he was not lying.
I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies
I saw boys, toys, electric irons and T.V's
My brain hurt like a ware house, it had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store ev'ry thing in there
And all the fat-skinny people,
and all the tall-short people
And all the nobody people,
and all the somebody people
I never thought I'd need so many people
Repeat the 4 chords now for the rest of the song with the strumming pattern
D DUDU X4 for each chord which starts with the normal G after "i never thought i'd need
many people."
A girl my age went off her head,
hit some tiny children
If the black hadn't a-pulled her off,
I think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm
Fixed his state to the wheels of a Cadilac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
And a queer threw up at at the sight of that
I think i saw you in an ice cream parlor
Drinking milkshakes cold and long
smiling and waving and looking so fine
Don't think you knew you were in this song
And it was cold, and it rained, so i felt like an actor
And i thought of Ma, and i wanted to get back there
Your face, Your race, the way that you talk
I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk. we got
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got
2. Soul Love (anonymous)
Intro
Stone love - she kneels before the grave
A brave son - who gave his life to see the slogan
That hovers between the headstone and her eyes
For they penetrate her grieving
New love - a boy and girl are talking
New words - that only they can share in
New words - a love so strong it tears their hearts
To sleep - through the fleeting hours of morning
Love is careless in its choosing
Sweeping over cross a baby
Love descends on those defenseless
Idiot love will spark the fusion
Inspirations have I none, just to touch the flaming dove
All I have is my love of love - and love is not loving
Solo
Soul love - the priest that tastes the word and
Told of love - and how my God on high is
All love - though reaching up my loneliness evolves
By the blindness that surrounds him
Love is careless in its choosing
Sweeping over cross a baby
Love descends on those defenseless
Idiot love will spark the fusion
Inspirations have I none, just to touch the flaming dove
All I have is my love of love - and love is not loving
I'm an alligator,
I'm a mama-papa comin' for you
I'm a space invader, I'll be a rock 'n' rollin' bitch for you
Keep your mouth shut, you're sqauwkin' like a pink monkey bird
and I'm busting up my brains for the words
(chorus)
Keep your 'lectric eye on me babe
Put your ray gun to my head
Press your space face close to mine, love
Freak out in a moonage daydream oh! yeah!
(chords same as first verse)
Don't fake it baby, lay the real thing on me
The church of man, love, is such a holy place to be
Make me baby, make me know you really care
Make me jump into the air
(repeat chorus)
Break
(guitar doubles sax line)
(hold the last D over the beginning of the chorus)
(repeat chorus 2x)
(Outro)
Freak out! Far out!
(repeat with lots of bluesly licks, bends and feedback
built around the D major scale)

* = 013331
Intro
Verse 1
Didn't know what time it was the lights were low-ow-ow.
I lean back on my radio-o-o
Some cat was laying down some rock'n'roll,
'Lotta soul' he said.
Verse 2
Then the loud sound did seem to fa-a-ade
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of pha-a-ase
That weren't no DJ that was hazy cosmic jive.
Chorus
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds.
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
'Cause he knows it all worthwhile,
He told me,
"Let the children lose it, let the children use it,
Let the children boogie."
Verse 3
Well I had to phone someone so I picked on you-ou-ou
Hey that's far out, so you heard him too-oo-oo
Switch on the TV we may pick him on Channel 2.
Verse 4
Look out your window I can see his li-i-ight,
If we can sparkle he may land toni-i-ight,
Don't tell your papa or he'll get us locked up in a fright.
Chorus
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds.
There's a starman waiting in the sky

"Let the children lose it, let the children use it,
Let the children boogie."

5. It Ain't Easy (dan230993)
Intro
When you climb to the top of the mountain
Look out over the sea
Think about the places perhaps where a young man could be
Then you jump back down to the rooftops
Look out over the town
Think about all of the strange things circulating round
Chorus 1
It ain't easy, it ain't easy
It ain't easy to get to heaven when you're going down
Well all the people have got their problems
That ain't nothing new
With the help of the good Lord we can all pull on through
We can all pull on through
Get there in the end
Sometimes it'll take you right up and sometimes down again
Chorus 2
Satisfaction, satisfaction
Keep me satisfied
I've got the love of a Hoochie Coochie woman she calling from inside
She's a-calling from inside
Trying to get to you
All the woman really wants you can give her something too
CHORUS 3+4
Outro
6. Lady Stardust (anonymous)
Intro
People stared at the makeup on his face
Laughed at his long black hair, his animal grace
The boy in the bright blue jeans
Jumped up on the stage
And lady stardust sang his songs
Of darkness and disgrace
And he was alright, the band was altogether
Yes he was alright, the songs went on forever
And he was awful nice
Really quite out of sight
And he sang all night long
The femme fatales emerged from shadows
To watch this creature fair
Boys stood upon their chairs to make thier point of view
I smiled sadly for a love I could not obey
And Lady Stardust sang his songs
Of darkness and dismay
And he was alright, the band was altogether
Yes he was alright, the songs went on forever
And he was awful nice
Really quite paradise
And he sang all night long
Ooh, how I sighed when they asked if I knew his name
Oh they were alright, the band was altogether
Yes he was alright, and the song went on forever
He was up all night
Really quite out of sight
He sang all night long
just in case:

Well come on, well come on, if you think we're gonna make it
You better hang on to yours..e..lf

9. Ziggy Stardust (markasman5)
Intro & Interlude
G D Cadd9 G/B G/A x3, last one do the "oh yeah, ah!" along as the song does
Verse i
Now Ziggy played guitar,
Jamming good with Weird and Gilly,
And the Spiders from Mars.
He played it left hand,
But made it too far.
Became the special man,
Then we were Ziggy's band.
Verse ii
Ziggy really sang,
screwed up eyes and screwed down hairdo,
like some cat from Japan.
He could lick 'em by smiling,
he could leave them to hang.
They came on so loaded, man,
well hung, snow white tan....
Chorus i
So where were the spiders,
While the fly tried to break our balls?
Just the beer light to guide us,
so we bitched about his fans
and should we crush his sweet hands?
Interlude
Verse iii
Ziggy played for time,
Jiving us that we were voodoo.
The kids were just crass,
He was the nazz,
With God given ass.
He took it all too far,
But, boy, Could he play guitar!
Chorus ii
Making love to his ego,
Ziggy sucked up into his mind,
Like a leper Messiah,
When the kids had killed the man
I had to break up the band!
Interlude
Outro
Yeah... ooo....
ZIGGY PLAYED GUITAR!

11. Rock n' Roll Suicide (anonymous)
Intro
Time takes a cigarette puts it in your mouth
You pull on your finger, then another finger, then your cigarette
The wall to wall is calling it lingers, then you forget
Oh you're a rock'n roll suicide
You're too old to lose it too young to choose it
And the clock waits so patiently on your song
You walk past a cafe but you don't eat when you lived too long
Oh no no no you're a rock'n roll suicide
Chev brakes are snarling as you stumble across the road
But the day breaks instead so you hurry home
Don't let the sun blast your shadow
don't let the milk floats ride your mind EADGBE
( = xx4210)
So natural religiously unkind
Oh no love you're not alone
You're watching yourself but you're too unfair
you got your head all tangled but if I could only make you care
Oh no love you're not alone
no matter what or who you've been
no matter when or where you've seen
all the knives to lacerate your brain
I've had my share I'll help you with the pain you're not alone
Just turn on me you're
not alone let's turn on me and be
you're not alone gimme your hands
you're wonderful gimme your hands
you're wonderful gimme your hands
