David Bowie

PANIC IN DETROIT from Aladdin Sane


INTRO: B5 G5 A5 B5 G5 A5
B5 G5 A5 B5 G5 A5


D E
He looked a lot like Che Guevara drove a diesel van
D E

Kept his gun in quiet seclusion such a humble man
G A G A
The only survivor of the National People's Gang
D C D C
Panic in Detroit I asked for an autograph
D G A
He wanted to stay home I wish someone would phone
D E D E
Panic in Detroit


D E
He laughed at accidental sirens that broke the evening gloom
D E
The police had warned of repercussions they followed none too soon
G A G A
A trickle of strangers were all that were left alive
D C D C
Panic in Detroit I asked for an autograph
D G A
He wanted to stay home I wish someone would phone
D E D E
Panic in Detroit


D C
Putting on some clothes I made my way to school, ooh ooh
Bm C G
And I found my teacher crouching in his overalls
D C
I screamed and ran to smash my favourite slot machine, ooh ooh
Bm C D G D G...with solo tab
And jumped the silent cars that slept at traffic lights


INTRO


D E
Having scored a trillion dollars made a run back home
D E
Found him slumped across the table a gun and me alone
G A G A
I ran to the window looked for a plane or two
D C D C
Panic in Detroit he'd left me an autograph
D G A
Let me collect dust I wish someone would phone
D E
Panic in Detroit
D E
Panic in Detroit
B5 G5 A5 B5 G5 A5
Panic in Detroit

SOLO: B5 G5 A5...repeat until fade
