Life on Mars - Testo e Accordi

Sol       Sim             Rem
   It's a god-awful small affair
       Mi7                 Lam
to the girl with the mousy hair
        Sol               Re
But her mummy is yelling "No"
        Re7                  Sol
and her daddy as told her to go
        Sim                     Rem
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
       Mi7                      Lam
as she walks through her sunken dream
       Sol                    Re
To the seat with the clearest view
          Re7                         Sib
and she's hooked to the silver screen
        Sib+                Solm
But the film is a saddening bore
          Sol#                  Mib
For she's lived it ten times or more
          Sol7                Dom
She could spit in the eyes of fools
        Mib
as they ask her to focus on

Do       Fa                    Sol
Sailors, fighting in the dance hall
Lam     Fam                   Sol
Oh man! look at those cavemen go,
Solm                  Rem
      it's a freakiest show
Fam                Do
Take a look at the Lawman,
Fa                   Sol
beating up the wrong guy
Lam      Fam                  Sol
Oh man!  Wonder if he'll ever know
Solm                           Rem
      he's in the best selling show
Fam                  Lam  Lab  Do  Re
    Is there life on Mars?

Sol        Sim                Rem
   It's on Amerika's tortured brow
       Mi7                  Lam
Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
        Sol                     Re
Now the workers have struck for fame
       Re7               Sol
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
        Sim                   Rem
See the mice in their million hordes
       Mi7                Lam
From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads
        Sol              Re
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
      Re7                       Sib
To my mother, my dog and clowns
        Sib+                Solm
But the film is a saddening bore
         Sol#                  Mib
`Cause I wrote it ten times or more
     Sol7             Dom
It's about to be writ again
     Mib
As I ask you to focus on

Do       Fa                    Sol
