David Bowie - Diamond dogs

N.C.

And in the death, as the last few corpses lay rotting on the slimy thoroughfare, The shutters lifted in inches in Temperance Building, high on Poacher's Hill, And red mutant eyes gaze down on Hunger City No more ^Cbig wheels Fleas the size of rats sucked on ^Frats the size of cats, And ten thousand peoploids ^F#split ^Ginto small tribes, Coveting the ^G#highest of the sterile sky^Amscrapers, Like packs of dogs as^Gsaulting the glass fronts of Loveme ^CAvenue Ripping and rewrapping ^Dmink and shiny silver ^Gfox, now legwarmers Family badge of sapphire and cracked ^Cemerald Any day now the year of the Diamond Dogs...

^AAs they pulled you out of the oxygen tent You ^E7asked for the latest party With your ^D7silicone hump and your ten inch stump ^ADressed like a priest you was, Tod Browning's freak you was

I'm ^E7sure you're not protected, for it's plain to see The ^D7diamond dogs are poachers and they hide behind trees ^AHunt you to the ground they will, mannequins with kill appeal

Will they ^Ecome? I'll keep a friend serene Will they ^Gcome? Oh baby, come unto me Will they ^Acome? Well, she's come, been and gone ^DCome out of the garden, baby ^AYou'll catch your death in the fog Young ^Bgirl, they ^D7call them the Diamond ^ADogs Young ^Bgirl, they ^D7call them the Diamond ^ADogs

^ANow, Halloween Jack is a real cool cat And he ^E7lives on top of Manhattan Chase The ^D7elevator's broke, so he slides down a rope ^AOnto the street below. Oh Tarzie, go man go

Her ^E7face is sans feature, but she wears a Dali brooch ^D7Sweetly reminiscent, something mother used to bake ^AWrecked up and paralyzed, Diamond Dogs are sableized

Will they ^Ecome? I'll keep a friend serene Will they ^Gcome? Oh baby, come unto me Will they ^Acome? Well, she's come, been and gone ^DCome out of the garden, baby ^AYou'll catch your death in the fog Young ^Bgirl, they ^D7call them the Diamond ^ADogs Young ^Bgirl, they ^D7call them the Diamond ^ADogs Oo oo ^Eooh, call them the Diamond ^ADogs Oo oo ^Eooh, call them the Diamond ^D7Dogs

^AIn the year of the scavenger, the season of the b**** ^E7Sashay on the boardwalk, scurry to the ditch ^D7Just another future song, lonely little kitsch There's ^Agonna be sorrow try and wake up tomorrow

Will they ^Ecome? I'll keep a friend serene Will they ^Gcome? Oh baby, come unto me Will they ^Acome? Well, she's come, been and gone ^DCome out of the garden, baby ^AYou'll catch your death in the fog Young ^Bgirl, they ^D7call them the Diamond ^ADogs Young ^Bgirl, they ^D7call them the Diamond ^ADogs Oo oo ^Eooh, call them the Diamond ^ADogs Oo oo ^Eooh, call them the Diamond ^ADogs ^ECall them the Diamond ^ADogs, Dogs ^ECall them the Diamond ^ADogs, call them, call them ^ECall them the Diamond ^ADogs, call them, call them, oo ^ECall them the Diamond ^D7Dogs
