David Bowie 5 Years The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust
I've seen a few tabs to this song and they all seem over-complicated. I watched the OGWT version of the song where you can see everything Bowie plays.
G* - x55433 - I don't know what G this is called but Bowie uses it. Em - 022000 A - x02220 C/G- 332010 Am - a03320 D - xx0232 G - 320003
For the first bit of the song just do single up strums for each chords G* EmAC/G
G* Pushing Through the Market Square Em So many mothers sighing A News had just come over C/G We had 5 years left to cry in
...
and then... AmC/G And all the fat-skinny people, AmC/G and all the tall-short people G* C/G And all the nobody people, D and all the somebody people
I never thought I'd need so many people C/G G
Repeat the 4 chords now for the rest of the song with the strumming pattern D DUDU X4 for each chord which starts with the normal G after "i never thought i'd need many people."
G* A girl my age went off her head, Em hit some tiny children A If the black hadn't a-pulled her off, C/G I think she would have killed them
.....
G* We've got five years, stuck on my eyes Em Five years, what a surprise A We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot C/G Five years, that's all we've got
Your still going to need to listen for the timings, especially with the "All the tall people bit", but its a very easy song
If you really want to you can just use the strumming pattern throughout the whole song you are playing on your own.
