David Bowie

David Bowie - Blue Jean guitar tab

The Chords are pretty Easy, I'm gonna mostly concentrate on the lead.

Starts with chords:

CCC GG

The Verse Riff: (make an open D chord and use your

pinky for the '3' on the first string when needed)

e|---3-2--|-3-2-0-2|---3-2--|----3-2-|-3-2-0-2||:----3-2-:||

B|--3-----|--------|--3-----|--3-----|--------||:--3-----:||

First Saxophone fill (in case you're in one of those lame-o

bands without a Saxophone ;))

1st Sax fill:

e|-12-------|

B|---12b--10|

G|----------|

D|----------|

A|----------|

E|----------|

2nd Sax fill:

(slide up to the last note

and hold it as long as you can...

squeeze tight for sustain!)

e|-12-------|----/17---|

B|---12b--10|----------|

G|----------|----------|

D|----------|----------|

A|----------|----------|

E|----------|----------|

Chorus:

(no leads here on the original version,

but I put some in as the song is kind of

boring with out them (and if you

don't have a sax in your band)

So I make my F#m and A like this:

F#m A

-2- -X-

-2- -2-

-2- -2-

-4- -2-

-4- -0-

-2- -X-

Use your first finger to make the A chord,

and you're right in position for some fills

using your A pentanoic MAJOR scale

F#m A

||:--------|--------|--------|--------:||

||:--------|--------|--------|--------:||

||:--------|--------|--------|--------:||

||:--------|--------|--------|--------:|| (x4)

||:--------|--------|--------|--------:||

||:--------|--------|--------|--------:||

Sometime I feel like...

CCC GG

OK, now just repeat the Verse and Intro from above again,

but before the chorus use the second sax fill...

Now the bridge:

||:--------|-3------:||

||:---3-6-3|---3-6-3:||

||:--------|--------:||

||:-5------|--------:|| (x2)

||:--------|--------:||

||:--------|--------:||

And back to the chorus..., and your done. Almost.

End on:

CCC GG CCC GG E
