YOUNG AMERICANS
bowie
intro: C, Dm, F, G (4x)
CThey pulled in just behind the fridge
He laysDm her down-he frowns
F"Gee my life's a funny thing
Am I Gstill too young"
CHe kissed her then and there
She took his ring, tDmook his babies
It tFook him minutes, took her nowhere
GHeaven knows she'dve taken anything
CHORUS:
FAll nGight-she want s the young American
CYounDmg American, young American
she wants the young American
It's aFll Gright-but she wants the young American
Scanning life thru the picture window
She finds the slinky vagabond
He coughs as he passes her Ford Mustang
Heaven forbid she'll take anything
But the freak and his type-all for nothing
Misses a step and cuts his hand
Showing nothing he swoops like a song
She cries "where have all papa's heroes gone'"
All night-she want s the young American
Young American, young American
she wants the young American
It's all right-but she wants the young American
All the way from Washington
He breadwinner begs of the bathroom floor
"Live for just these twenty years
Do we have to die for the fifty more'"
All night-he want s the young American
Young American, young American
he wants the young American
It's all right-but he wants the young American...
interlude: Am, G, F, G
bridge:
AmDo you remember yGour PreCsident Nixon'
AmSo you remember Gthe bills youF have to pay
or even yestEerday'
break: D, G(ii), G(iii), D(ii), A(ii)
DHave you been the un-American
EmJust you and your id singing falsetto 'bout
Gleather, leather everywhere and
Anot a myth left from the Ghetto
DWell, well, well would you carry a razor'
EmIn case, just in case of depression
GSit on your hands on a bus of survivors
ABlushing at all the afro-sheeners
Ain't that close to love'
Well ain't that poster love'
Well it ain't that brbie doll
Her hearts have been broken just like you
GAllA night-you want the young American
DYoung American, young American Em
you want the young American
It'sG allA right-you want the young American
You ain't a pimp and you ain't a hustler
Pimps got a Caddy-lady got a Chrysler
Black's got respect-white's got his soul train
Mama's got cramps and look at your hands hey
"I heard the news today, oh boy"
I got-suite and you got defeat
Ain't there a man-who could say no more
Ain't there a woman-I can sock on the jaw
Ain't there a child-I can hold without judging
Ain't there a pen-that will write before they die
Ain't you proud-that you've still got faces
and ain't there one damn song that can make me
break down and cry...
All night-I want the young American
Young American, young American
I want the young American
It's all right-I want the young American

Subject: CRD:Bowie - Young Americans, help needed
Here is a David Bowie song I tried to figure out the other day and this is
what I came up with. I am not sure I got everything correct. The G might
be a Gsus4 or something similar. Help me out here. Corrections are welcome!
CThey pulled in just behind the fridge
GHe laid her down - he frowns
DmGee my life's a funny thing
FAm I still too young
CHe kissed then and there
GShe took his ring took his babies
DmIt him minutes took her nowhere
FHeaven knows she'd've taken anything
EmAll nigF#mht - she wants the young American
EmIt's all rigF#mht - but she wants the young American
Scanning life through the picture window
She finds the slinky vagabond
He coughs as he passes her Ford Mustang
Heaven forbid she'll taken anything
But the freak and his type - all for nothing
He misses a step and cuts his hand
Showing nothing he swoops like a song
She cries where have all papa's heroes gone
All night - she wants the young American
It's all right - but she wants the young American
All the way from Washington
Her breadwinner begs of the bathroom floor
We live for just these twenty years
Do we have to die for fifty more
All night - she wants the young American
It's all right - but she wants the young American
Do you remember president Nixon
Do you remember all the bills you have to pay
or even yesterday .................................
