OH! YOU PRETTY THINGS - David Bowie
Tabbed by: Rvaen
Email: andy@lazysranch.org
Tuning: standard
capo: 1st fret.
All chords (but not tabs) are relative to the capo. There are two sets of changes: the
and the chorus. This is a guitar transcription of the piano chords. The piano breaks were
lot of work, due to the unique voicings used. Some parts I'm sure on, others...not so
much. Feel free to email a correction if you got one.
The only tricky chord:
E A D G B e
FM7/E: [0 x 3 2 1 0]

F What are we Ccoming to
GNo room for me, no Dmfun for you
F I think about a Cworld to come
Where the Gbooks were found by the Dgolden ones
FWritten in pain, Cwritten in awe
A7By a puzzled man who Dmquestioned
What we were here Bbfor
All the Bstrangers came Ctoday

Verse:
Look at your children
See their faces in golden rays
Dont kid yourself they belong to you
Theyre the start of a coming race
The earth is a bitch
Weve finished our news
Homo sapiens have outgrown their use
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though theyre here to stay
