David Bowie – If You Can See Me (Guitar)

C#
If you can see me I can see you

E
I could wear your new blue shoes

E
I should wear your old red dress

E
And walk to the crossroads

E
So take this knife

Fm
And meet me across the river

E
Just chutes and ladders and this is the kiss

E
American Anna, fantastic Alsatian

E
From nowhere to nothing

Fm
And I go way back

E
Children swarm like thousands of bugs

E
Towards the lights the beacons above the hill

E                                 Fm
The stars to the West, the South, the North and to the East

F#                G#
Now you could say I've got a gift of sorts

A#m                        G#
A fear of rear windows and swinging doors

A#m                    C
A love of violence and dread of sighs

C#
If you can see me I can see you

C#
If you can see me I can see you

E
I have seen these bairns wave their fists at God

E
Swear to destroy the beasts, stamping the ground

         Fm
In their excitement for tomorrow

E
I could wear your new blue shoes

E
I should wear your old red dress

E
And walk to the crossroads

E
So take this knife

Fm
And meet me across the river

F#                         G#   
I will take your lands and all that lays beneath

A#m                       G#
The dust of cold flowers, prison of dark of ashes

A#m                   C
I will slaughter your kind who descend from belief

C#
I am the spirit of greed, a lord of theft

C#
I'll burn all your books and the problems they make

C#
If you can see me I can see you

C#
If you can see me.
