Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
I can only tab the chords because I only play piano but I was shocked this song has never been submitted. It's too cool a song. This is the song as it appears on the Underworld Soundtrack NOT the Reality album (because I think it's a better version). Don't try and play along with the Reality version, as it's different instrumentation. Also, bear with me, it's my first submission, and some chords may not be exact. Comments, questions, corrections? E-mail: [email protected] ...thanks!

NOTE: in this tab, a slash with a note next to it means play the same chord but change the bass note. So if you see Fm7, then later, /Db, then that's short hand for Fm7/Db...sorry if that's confusing.
BRING ME THE DISCO KING Words and original music by David Bowie Remixed by Danny Lohner
INTRO: Fm7 (add 4) ...(*Guitar, strum between 8 and 11 on your high-E...but that's all the help I can give you!)
Fm7Eb You promised me the ending would be clear Cm7Fm7 You'd let me know when the time was now DbFm7 Don't let me know when you're opening the door EbFm7/C Stab me in the dark, let me disappear
Memories that flutter like bats out of hell Stab you from the city spires Life wasn't worth the balance Or the crumpled paper it was written on
Fm7sus4 /Eb Don't let me know we're invisible /D /Db Don't let me know we're invisible
Hot cash days that you trailed around Cold, cold nights under chrome and glass Led me down a river of perfume limbs Sent me to the streets with the good time girls
Don't let me know we're invisible Don't let me know we're invisible
Fm7 /Eb We could dance, dance, dance through the fire /DbFm7 Dance, dance, dance through the fire
DbEb Feed me no lies Fm7 I don't know about you, I don't know about you
DbEb Breathe through the years Fm7 I don't know about you, I don't know about you
DbEb Bring me the disco king Fm7 I don't know about you, I don't know about you
DbEbDbEb Dead or alive, Feed me no lies
Fm7 Bring me the disco king Bring me the disco king Bring me the disco king Bring me the head of the disco king
Repeat INTRO (Fm7) *except this time play the chords that appear in the "dance, dance, dance" section with less intensity
Spin offs with those who slept like corpses Damp morning rays in the stiff back clubs Killing time in the 70s Smelling of love through the moist wind
Don't let me know when you're opening the door Close me in the dark let me disappear Soon there'll be nothing left of me Nothing left to release
Dance, dance, dance through the fire Dance, dance, dance through the fire
Feed me no lies I don't know about you, I don't know about you
Breathe through the years I don't know about you, I don't know about you
Bring me the disco king I don't know about you, I don't know about you
DbEb Breathe through the years DbEb Dead or alive DbEb Bring me the disco king
Fm7 Bring me the disco king, Bring me the disco king Fm7 Bring me the disco king, Bring me the disco king Fm7 Bring me the disco king, Bring me the disco king N.C. Bring me the disco king
