Song: Conversation Piece Album: Space Oddity (2019 Mix) Artist: David Bowie *************** [Intro] G D
G                              D  Am
I took this walk to ease my mind

                                 C
To find out what's gnawing at me

                              G
Wouldn't think to look at me

          Am                              Em7 C
that I've spent a lot of time in education

                         G
It all seems so long ago

      Am                    Em7 C
I'm a thinker, not a talker
I've no-one to talk to, anyway
  G             F
I can't see the road

        C           G
for the rain in my eyes

F  C  G
Ahhh ...

        G                    D
I live above the grocers store,

Am                  C           
owned by an Austrian

                              G
He often calls me down to eat

       Am                            C
And he jokes about his broken English

                           G
tries to be a friend to me

            Am                               Em7 C
But for all my years of reading conversation,
I stand without a word to say
   G            F       
I can't see the bridge

        C          G
for the rain in my eyes

F C G
Ahhh...
(Key Change)
        A                   C#m Bm
And the world is full of life

                               D
Full of folk who don't know me

                                        A
And they walk in twos or threes or more

          Bm                                        F#m7 D
While the light that shines above the grocer's store

                                A
Investigates my face so rudely

        Bm                               F#m7 D
And my essays lying scattered on the floor
Fulfill their needs just by being there
        A              G
And my hands shake, my head hurts,

     D              A
my voice sticks inside my throat

        A         G
I'm invisible and dumb,

    D              A    
And no-one will recall me

        A             G
And I can't see the water

        D           Fmaj7   G   A
for the tears in my eyes
