OK, I just figured this one out. Not too hard.
In the second and third verses, another guitar comes in and solos
over the chords.
The Bewlay Brothers - David Bowie
off the CD Hunky Dory
[intro] D D Em A7 x2
And so the stDory goes they wore the clothes
They said theD things to make it seem impEmrobable A
The whale ofD a lie like they hope it Dwas Em A
And the GDoodmen of Tomorrow
Had Dtheir feet in the wallow
And theiEmr heads of Brawn, were nicer shorn
And hAow they bought their positions with saccDharin and trust. D
The worldEm was asleep to our latenAt fuss. D D
EmSighing the swirl through the streets
Like the Acrust of the sun
BmThe Bewlay Brothers
in our WiAngs that Bark
Flashing tGeeth of Brass
Standing tF#all in the dark
Oh, We were GEmone-----
Hanging out with your DwGarf Men
We were so turned Emon
By your lack of CoGnclusions
D D Em A7
I was Stone and he was Wax
So he could scream and still relax, unbelievable
And we frightened the small children away
And our talk was old and dust would flow
Thru our veins and Lo! it was midnight
Back o' the kitchen door
Like the grim face on the Cathedral floor
And the solid book we wrote
Cannot be found today
It was stalking time for the Moonboys
The Bewlay Brothers
With our backs on the arch
In the Devil-may-be-here
But He can't sing above that
Oh, We were Gone
Real Cool Traders
We were so Turned On
You thought we were Fakers
D D Em A7
Now the dress is hung, the ticket pawned
the Factor Max that proved the fact
is melted down,
And woven on the edging of my pillow
Now my Brother lays upon the Rocks
He could be dead. He could be not,
He could be You.
He's Camelian, comedian Corinthian and Caricature
"Shooting-up Pie-in-the-Sky"
The Bewlay Brothers
In the feeble and the Bad
The Bewlay Brothers
In the Blessed and Cold
In the Crutch-hungry dark
Was where we flayed our Mark
Oh, We were Gone
Kings of Oblivion
We were so Turned On
In the Mind-Warp Pavilion
BmLay me Place and Abake me Pie
I'm stGarving for me GrEmavy
BmLeave my shoes, and doAor unlocked
I miGght just slip awEmay
Just for the DFay, Hey! [Repeat last 2 lines into fade]
Please come ABmway, Hey!
