David Bowie:
"There's nothing like the oldies.
Ah, thanks a lot. OK, let's move on."
We'll jump right back to 1970. This song, I'm very proud to have written.
Ah, It's been covered no end of times.
And ah, I guess at the time it was considered a a signature song for me.
Um, this is called'The Man Who Sold The World'."

Dm A Dm
We passed upon the stairs, we spoke of was and when,
A F
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend.
C A
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes,
Dm C
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago.

Dm A Dm
I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home,

Dm C
We must have died alone, a long long time ago.
