Tuning:
First Bowie tab... He is like my favourite male solo singer, so it's quite an event to me. The other tabs for
this song really sounded mostly wrong, so I decided to tab it properly. The only weird chord is E5, which
I play like this:
E5 022400
Hope you enjoy it, this song is a real underrated masterpiece.
Please rate and comment!
==Edit==
David Bowie passed away a few days ago after a tough battle against cancer. Words can't express how I
felt when I woke up and got to know about his death, and any attempt to describe how much he and his
music have helped me, to phrase what his works mean to me, would probably sound superficial, predictable
and dull. Only a few artists have been as determining, significant and important to me as he was, and I
thought he was sort of immortal. But he wasn't.
Yet I like to think his music will live on and keep inspiring generations... As the poet says, only art
can make us eternal, and Bowie will always be my epitome of art.
This tab is my personal homage to Major Tom, the Man Who Sold The World, Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane,
Halloween Jack, the Thin White Duke, the Man Who Fell To Earth, the Blackstar... to David Bowie.
Thanks for everything, you are my hero.

E5Day after day
E7They send my friends awEay
To mE7ansions cold and grEey
To the fFar side of town
Where the tDmhin men stalk the strEmeets
While the sFane stay undergrE5ound
E5Day after day
E7They tell me I can gEo
They tE7ell me I can blEow
To the fFar side of town
Where it's pDmointless to be Emhigh
'Cause it's sFuch a long way dEown
ESo I tell them that
I can fly, I will scream, I Dmwill break my Farm
DmI will do me hEarm
Here I stand, foot in hand, Dmtalking to my Fwall
I'm Dmnot quite right at Eall, am I?
FDon't set me free, I'm as hGeavy as can be
Just my lFibrium and me and my EEST makes three
E'Cause I'd rAather stay here with Eall the madmen
Than F#mperish with the sAadmen roaming frC#ee
And I'd rAather play here with Eall the madmen
For I'm qF#muite content they're Aall as sane as Bmme

When a nation hides
Its organic minds in a cellar, dark and grim,
They must be very dim)

They E7take some brain awEay
Then tE7urn my face aroEund
To the fFar side of town
And Dmtell me that it's rEeal
Then Fask me how I fEeel
