Some days ago i saw a request for this song.
Here it is, dedicated to the memory Kurt Cobain, who made
a great cover of this song at MTV Unplugged.
Bye

David Bowie — The man who sold the world
****************************************
Introduction: play r1
Dm A7 Dm
We passed upon the stairs, We spoke of was and when
A7 F
Although I wasn't there, he said i was his friend
C Gm A
Which came as some surprise, I spoke into his eyes
Dm C (play r2)
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago
C (play r2) F (r3)
Oh no, not me
Bbm F (r3)
I never lost control
C (r2) F
Your'e face to face
Bbm A (repeat intro. )
with the man who sold the world
I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
I searched for form and land, for years and years i roamed
I gazed a gazely stare at all the millions here
We must have died alone' a long long time ago
Who knows? not me
We never lost control
Your'e face to face
with the man who sold the world
