Blackout (CHORDS) by David Bowie

[Intro]~
Am G F E


[Verse 1]~
  Am               G
Oh you,, you walk on past

     D
Your lips cut a smile on your face (Your scalding face)

      Am           G
To the cage,, to the cage

         D
She was a beauty in a cage


[Verse 2]~
Am              G
Too,, too high a price

  D
To drink rotting wine from your hands (Your fearful hands)
Get me to a doctor's I've been told

F
Someone's back in town,, the chips are down

G
I just cut and blackout
I'm under Japanese influence

                       Am
And my honour's at stake


[Verse 3]~
                  G
The weather's grim,, ice on the cages

                 F
Me,, I'm Robin Hood and I puff on my cigarette

            E
Panthers are steaming,, stalking,, screaming


[Pre-Chorus]~
E
If you don't stay tonight

Am     G               F
I will take that plane tonight

    Am             G              F  E
I've nothing to lose,, nothing to gain

    Am              G
I'll kiss you in the rain

F                     E
Kiss you in the rain (kiss you in the rain)

Am                    G
Kiss you in the rain (kiss you in the rain)

F            E
In the rain (In the rain)

                   F G
Get me to the doctor


[Chorus]~
Am                    G
Get me off the streets (get some protection)

F                E
Get me on my feet (get some direction)

E
Hot air gets me into a blackout

Am                         G       F
Oh,, get me off the streets

E
Get some protection

Am                   G F E
Oh,, get me on my feet    (wo-ooh!)


[Chorus]~
Am
While the streets block off

G                          F                            E
Getting some skin exposure to the blackout (get some protection)

Am                G   F           E                   Am G F E
Get me on my feet    (get some direction,, wo-ooh!)

Am                    G F E
Oh,, get me on my feet

Am G F                     E
Get me off the streets (get some protection)


[Outro]~
Am G F E
(Repeat until fades out)
