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
