Standard (EADGBE)

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.

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:

Laying on electric dreams

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
