Subject: BIG BROTHER by David Bowie

this is one of my favourite bowie songs of all time.  it is off of the great
and enigmatic album —diamond dogs—.  it post—cedes 1984.  bowie is just so
great.  but anyway, here we go:


(music starts, bass plays an A note)

Bm            A
don~t talk of dust and roses
Bm           A
or should we powder our noses?
A              G
don~t live for last year~s capers
        D                             E
give me steel, give me steel, give me pulses unreal

Bm            A
we~ll build a glass asylum
Bm          A
with just a hint of mayhem
A              G
you~ll build a better whirlpool
         D                            E
we~ll be living from sin, then we can really begin

D              G          D      G
please savior, save your shores
D            G           Gb      A
help me, i~m graphically yours

            Bm        G           A
some one to claim us, some one to follow
            Bm        G           A
some one to shame us, some brave apollo
            Bm       G             A
some one to fool us, some one like you

                E                   D—B5—A
we want you big brother, big brother


break: Bm   A   G    Bm   A   G   Bm   A   G
E    G     E    G

G                       Em
i know you think you~re awful square
            C                         G
that you~ve made every one and you~ve been everywhere
C                  G              D                 A
lord, i~d take an overdose if you knew what~s going down

            Bm        G           A
some one to claim us, some one to follow
            Bm        G           A
some one to shame us, some brave apollo
            Bm       G             A
some one to fool us, some one like you
           Bm        G           A
some one to claim us, some one to follow
            Bm        G           A
some one to shame us, some brave apollo
            Bm       G             A
some one to fool us, some one like you
           Bm        G           A
some one to claim us, some one to follow
            Bm        G           A
some one to shame us, some brave apollo
            Bm       G             A
some one to fool us, some one like you

                 E
we want you big brother
