LIFE ON MARS?
by David Bowie
 
 
[Verse]
 
F        Am/E            F7/Eb          D7
   It's a god-awful small affair, to the girl with the mousy hair
Gm        Bb/F              C/E          C7
   But her mother is yelling "No," and her father as told her to go
F        Am/E            F7/Eb          D7
  But her friend is nowhere to be seen, as she walks through her sunken dream
Gm        Bb/F              C/E          C7
   To the seat with the clearest view, and she's hooked to the silver screen
Ab/Eb     Ab+/E               Fm             Ab7/Gb
   But the film is a saddening bore, for she's lived it ten times or more
Db          A+                  Bbm           Db7/Cb
   She could spit in the eyes of fools, as they ask her to focus on
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Bb       Eb
Sailors, fighting in the dance hall
Gm      Gb+                   F
Oh man, look at those cavemen go,
Fm                    Cm7  Ebm7
   it's the freakiest show, take a look at the
Bb       Eb
Lawman, beating up the wrong guy
Gm      Gb+                  F
Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know
Fm                           Cm7   Ebm7
   he's in the best selling show
                   Gm   Gb+  Bb/F  C9
Is there life on Mars?
 
 
[Interlude]
 
F   D7/F#   Gm   E7/G#   Am   C7/Bb   Bbm7
 
 
[Verse]
 
F          Am/E               F7/Eb          D7
   It's on America's tortured brow, Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Gm          Bb/F                   C/E          C7
   Now the workers have struck for fame, 'cause Lennon's on sale again
F          Am/E                 F7/Eb          D7
   See the mice in their million hordes, from Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Gm         Bb/F              C/E          C7
   Rule Brittania is out of bounds, to my mother, my dog and clowns
Ab/Eb     Ab+/E               Fm              Ab7/Gb
   But the film is a saddening bore, 'cause I wrote it ten times before
Db          A+                  Bbm           Db7/Cb
   It's about to be writ again, as I ask you to focus on
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Bb       Eb
Sailors, fighting in the dance hall
Gm      Gb+                   F
Oh man, look at those cavemen go,
Fm                    Cm7  Ebm7
   it's the freakiest show, take a look at the
Bb       Eb
Lawman, beating up the wrong guy
Gm      Gb+                  F
Oh man, wonder if he'll ever know
Fm                           Cm7   Ebm7
   he's in the best selling show
                   Gm   Gb+  Bb/F  C9
Is there life on Mars?
