First Bowie tab... He is like my favourite male solo singer, so it's quite an event to me. The other tabs for
this song really sounded mostly wrong, so I decided to tab it properly. The only weird chord is E5, which
I play like this:
E5 022400
Hope you enjoy it, this song is a real underrated masterpiece.
Please rate and comment!

David Bowie passed away a few days ago after a tough battle against cancer. Words can't express how I
felt when I woke up and got to know about his death, and any attempt to describe how much he and his
music have helped me, to phrase what his works mean to me, would probably sound superficial, predictable
and dull. Only a few artists have been as determining, significant and important to me as he was, and I
thought he was sort of immortal. But he wasn't.
Yet I like to think his music will live on and keep inspiring generations... As the poet says, only art
can make us eternal, and Bowie will always be my epitome of art.
This tab is my personal homage to Major Tom, the Man Who Sold The World, Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane,
Halloween Jack, the Thin White Duke, the Man Who Fell To Earth, the Blackstar... to David Bowie.
Thanks for everything, you are my hero.

(Where can the horizon lie
When a nation hides
Its organic minds in a cellar, dark and grim,
They must be very dim)
E5 Day after day E7 E They take some brain away E7 E Then turn my face around F To the far side of town Dm E And tell me that it's real F E Then ask me how I feel
