Song: Moonage Daydream
Band: David Bowie
Rec: Ziggy Stardust
D (5th fret) (no notes)
I’m an alligator,
F# (9th fret) (no notes) B
I’m a mama-papa comin’ for you
A E G
I’m a space invader, I’ll be a rock ‘n’ rollin’ bitch for you
D F#
Keep your mouth shut, you’re sqauwkin’ like a pink monkey bird
B A E (1st fret)
and I’m busting up my brains for the words
(chorus)
G D E (1st fret)
Keep your ‘lectric eye on me babe
G D E (1st fret)
Put your ray gun to my head
G D E (1st fret)
Press your space face close to mine, love
D (5th fret) E (7th fret)
Freak out in a moonage daydream oh! yeah!
(chords same as first verse)
Don’t fake it baby, lay the real thing on me
The church of man, love, is such a holy place to be
Make me baby, make me know you really care
Make me jump into the air
(repeat chorus)
BREAK
(guitar doubles sax line)
