David Bowie – How Does The Grass Grow (Guitar)

Bbm                         G#        
Theres a graveyard by the station

                 F#
Where the girls wear nylon skirts and

F#
Sandals from Hungary

Bbm
The boys ride their Riga 1s

G#
Upon the little hill

F#
Such sadness and grief

F#
The trees die standing

Bbm
Thats where we made our trysts

      G#
And struggled with our guns

F#
Would you still love me

F#
If the clocks could go backwards

Bbm
The girls would fill with blood and

G#
The grass would be green again

F#
Remember the dead

F#
They were so great some of them

F#       G#          Bbm
Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya

F#       G# 
Ya ya ya ya ya ya

Bbm
How does the grass grow

F#       G#          Bbm
Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya

F#       G# 
Ya ya ya ya ya ya

Bbm
How does the grass grow

Bbm
But I lived a blind life

G#
A white face in prison

F#
But you made a life out of nothing

F#
Now I ride my black horse

Bbm
I miss you more

G#
Than youll ever ever know

F#
Waiting with my red eyes

F#
And my stone heart

F#       G#          Bbm
Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya

F#       G# 
Ya ya ya ya ya ya

Bbm
How does the grass grow

F#       G#          Bbm
Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya

F#       G# 
Ya ya ya ya ya ya

Bbm
Where do the boys lie

Bbm
How does the grass grow

E               G
I gaze in defeat

D
At the stars in the night

E                G          D
The light in my life burnt away

           E        G+
There will be no tomorrow

F#            F
Then you sigh in your sleep

A            E              D
And meaning returns with the day

F#       G#          Bbm
Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya

F#       G# 
Ya ya ya ya ya ya

Bbm
Where do the boys lie

How does the grass grow
