  since nobody posted this, i had to figure out this for myself.

  so now i share this bowie masterpice with all y'all....

  

  

  YOUNG AMERICANS

  bowie

  

  intro: C, Dm, F, G (4x)

  

  C

  They pulled in just behind the fridge

         Dm

  He lays her down-he frowns

  F

  "Gee my life's a funny thing

       G

  Am I still too young"

  C

  He kissed her then and there

                      Dm

  She took his ring, took his babies

      F

  It took him minutes, took her nowhere

  G

  Heaven knows she'dve taken anything

  

  CHORUS:

  F    G

  All night-she want s the young American

  C   Dm

  Young American, young American

  she wants the young American

        F  G

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

  

  Scanning life thru the picture window

  She finds the slinky vagabond

  He coughs as he passes her Ford Mustang

  Heaven forbid she'll take anything

  But the freak and his type-all for nothing

  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 want s the young American

  Young American, young American

  she wants the young American

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

  

  All the way from Washington

  He breadwinner begs of the bathroom floor

  "Live for just these twenty years

  Do we have to die for the fifty more?"

  

  All night-he want s the young American

  Young American, young American

  he wants the young American

  It's all right-but he wants the young American...

  

  interlude: Am, G, F, G

  

  bridge:

  Am               G      C     

  Do you remember your President Nixon?

  Am              G            F

  So you remember the bills you have to pay

              E

  or even yesterday?

  

  break: D, G(ii), G(iii), D(ii), A(ii)

  

  D

  Have you been the un-American

  Em

  Just you and your id singing falsetto 'bout

  G

  leather, leather everywhere and

  A

  not a myth left from the Ghetto

  D

  Well, well, well would you carry a razor?

  Em

  In case, just in case of depression

  G

  Sit on your hands on a bus of survivors

  A

  Blushing at all the afro-sheeners

  Ain't that close to love?

  Well ain't that poster love?

  Well it ain't that brbie doll

  Her hearts have been broken just like you

  

  G  A

  All night-you want  the young American

  D                                     Em

  Young American, young American

  you want the young American

      G   A

  It's all right-you want the young American

  

  You ain't a pimp and you ain't a hustler

  Pimps got a Caddy-lady got a Chrysler

  Black's got respect-white's got his soul train

  Mama's got cramps and look at your hands hey

  "I heard the news today, oh boy"

  I got-suite and you got defeat

  Ain't there a man-who could say no more

  Ain't there a woman-I can sock on the jaw

  Ain't there a child-I can hold without judging

  Ain't there a pen-that will write before they die

  Ain't you proud-that you've still got faces

  and ain't there one damn song  that can make me

  break down and cry...

  

  All night-I want the young American

  Young American, young American

  I want the young American

  It's all right-I want the young American

  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!

  

  

  

  C        

  They pulled in just behind the fridge 

  G

  He laid her down - he frowns

  Dm

  Gee my life's a funny thing

  F

  Am I still too young

  C

  He kissed then and there

  G

  She took his ring took his babies

  Dm

  It him minutes took her nowhere

  F

  Heaven knows she'd've taken anything

  

  Em     F#m

  All night - she wants the young American

  Em          F#m

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

  

  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 .................................
