Here is a David Bowie song I tried to figure out the other day and this is 
what I came up with. I am not sure I got everything correct. The G might
be a Gsus4 or something similar. Help me out here. Corrections are welcome!



        
They pulled in

 just behind t

he bridge 

He laid her do

wn - he frowns

Gee my life's 

a funny thing

Am I still too

 young

He kissed then

 and there

She took his r

ing took his b

abies

It him minutes

 took her nowh

ere

Heaven knows s

he'd've taken 

anything

     
All night - sh

e wants the yo

ung American
          
It's all right


 - but she wan

ts the young A

merican

Scanning life through the picture window
She finds the slinky vagabond
He coughs as he passes her Ford Mustang
Heaven forbid she'll taken anything
But the freak and his type - all for nothing
He misses a step and cuts his hand
Showing nothing he swoops like a song
She cries where have all papa's heroes gone

All night - she wants the young American
It's all right - but she wants the young American

All the way from Washington
Her breadwinner begs of the bathroom floor
We live for just these twenty years
Do we have to die for fifty more

All night - she wants the young American
It's all right - but she wants the young American

Do you remember president Nixon
Do you remember all the bills you have to pay
or even yesterday .................................
