  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

   transcribe.  comment, questions, answers, direct your attention to
