  OK, I just figured this one out.  Not too hard.  

  In the second and third verses, another guitar comes in and solos

  over the chords. 

  

  

  The Bewlay Brothers - David Bowie

  off the CD Hunky Dory

  

  [intro] D D Em A7 x2

               D                       

  And so the story goes they wore the clothes 

               D                          Em         A

  They said the things to make it seem improbable

              D                        D    Em A

  The whale of a lie like they hope it was

           D                          

  And the Goodmen of Tomorrow 

      D

  Had their feet in the wallow

          Em                     

  And their heads of Brawn, were nicer shorn

       A                                       D                 D 

  And how they bought their positions with saccharin and trust.

           Em                      A           D D

  The world was asleep to our latent fuss.

  Em

  Sighing the swirl through the streets 

           A

  Like the crust of the sun

  Bm

  The Bewlay Brothers

           A

  in our Wings that Bark

            G

  Flashing teeth of Brass

            F#

  Standing tall in the dark

               Em

  Oh, We were Gone-----

                          G

  Hanging out with your Dwarf Men

                    Em

  We were so turned on

                    G

  By your lack of Conclusions

  

  D D Em A7

  

  I was Stone and he was Wax

  So he could scream and still relax, unbelievable

  And we frightened the small children away

  And our talk was old and dust would flow

  Thru our veins and Lo! it was midnight

  Back o' the kitchen door

  Like the grim face on the Cathedral floor

  And the solid book we wrote

  Cannot be found today

  It was stalking time for the Moonboys

  The Bewlay Brothers

  With our backs on the arch

  In the Devil-may-be-here

  But He can't sing above that

  Oh, We were Gone

  Real Cool Traders

  We were so Turned On

  You thought we were Fakers

  

  D D Em A7

  

  Now the dress is hung, the ticket pawned

  the Factor Max that proved the fact

  is melted down,

  And woven on the edging of my pillow

  Now my Brother lays upon the Rocks

  He could be dead.  He could be not,

  He could be You.

  He's Camelian, comedian Corinthian and Caricature

  "Shooting-up Pie-in-the-Sky"

  The Bewlay Brothers

  In the feeble and the Bad

  The Bewlay Brothers

  In the Blessed and Cold

  In the Crutch-hungry dark

  Was where we flayed our Mark

  Oh, We were Gone

  Kings of Oblivion

  We were so Turned On

  In the Mind-Warp Pavilion

  

  Bm               A

  Lay me Place and bake me Pie

        G               Em

  I'm starving for me Gravy

  Bm                    A  

  Leave my shoes, and door unlocked

      G               Em

  I might just slip away 

                F

  Just for the Day, Hey!               [Repeat last 2 lines into fade]

               Bm

  Please come Away, Hey!
