Dead Man Walking
guitar tabs lyrics
This is an acoustic version of David Bowie's dance/rock track from his album Earthling.
a video of him playing it on Conan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n22ImOPXOnw
Tuned down one step.
Intro:
|F|"|G|"| 4X
Alternate lifting the finger off of the low E string. listen to the recording to get
timing.
Verse (Basically repeat the intro but without lifting off from the low E):
He swivels his head
Tears his eyes from the screen
As his past puts him back in Atlantic City
There's not even a demon in Heaven or Hell
Is it all just human disguise?
As I walk down the aisle
Chorus:
F
And I'm gone gone gone
G
Now I'm older than movies
F
And I know who's there
G
When silhouettes fall
Bb
And I'm gone
Dm
Like I'm dancing on angels
Cm Gm
And I'm gone through a crack in the past
Like a dead man walking (repeat intro through this part)
Like a dead man walking
Verse:
Three old men dancing under the lamplight
Shaking their sex and their bones
And the boys that we were
An alien nation in therapy
Sliding naked and new
Like a bad tempered child
On a rain slicked street
Chorus
repeat intro 4X
after this, he does a short instrumental section that i don't really know. i think it's
a chromatic walk up from F.
Chorus
Walkup
