David Bowie - 5 Years
The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust

I've seen a few tabs to this song and they all seem over-complicated.
I watched the OGWT version of the song where you can see everything Bowie plays.

For the first bit of the song just do single up strums for each chord
   


Pushing throug

h the Market S

quare

So many mother

s sighing

News had just 

come over

We had 5 years

 left to cry i

n

...

and then...
              
And all the fa

              
t-skinny peopl

       
e,
              
and all the ta

              
ll-short peopl

       
e
              
And all the no

                    
body people,
              
and all the so

               
mebody people
              
I never though

              
t I'd need so 

              
many people

Repeat the 4 chords now for the rest of the song with the strumming pattern
D DUDU x4 for each chord which starts with the normal G after "I never thought I'd need 
many people."


A girl my age 

went off her h

 her off,

I think she wo

We've got five

 years, stuck 

on my eyes

Five years, wh

at a surprise

We've got five

 years, my bra

in hurts a lot

Five years, th

 got


You're still going to need to listen for the timings, especially with the "All the tall 
people bit", but it's a very easy song.
