Strangers When We Meet Chords

(ver. 1)
David Bowie
This is my first attempt at tabbing anything, so any comments are very welcome and
encouraged.  This is one of my all-time favorite songs, and I couldn't find it anywhere
and gave it a shot.  I'm not totally sure on everything, so give it a shot and let me



By David Bowie

A
All my friends

Now seem so thin and frail
           E
Slinky secrets
                D/F#
Hotter than the sun
		   A
No peachy prayers

No trendy rechauffe
	        E
I'm with you
		    D/F#
So I can't go on

Chorus:
		E
All my violence
	   D		        A
Raining tears upon the sheet
            E
I'm bewildered/resentful
		D		        A
For we're strangers when we meet

	        A
Blank screen TV

Preening ourselves in the snow
		E
Forget my name
		   D/F#
But I'm over you
        A
Blended sunrise

And it's a dying world
		       E
Humming Rheingold
			    D/F#
We scavenge up our clothes
(Chorus)
	     E        D/F#
Cold tired fingers
		 D(no third)    
Tapping out your memories
             E    D/F#
Halfway sadness
		 D(no third)
Dazzled by the new
	         A
Your embrace 

Was all that I feared
              E
That whirling room
	       D/F#
We trade by vendu

	     E
Steely resolve 
         D      A
Is falling from me
	    E
My poor soul
	D	         A
All bruised passivity
		E
All your regrets
       D             A
Ride rough-shod over me
       E
I'm so glad
            D                A
That we're strangers when we meet
        E
I'm so thankful
            D                A
That we're strangers when we meet
        E
I'm in clover
                D		    A
That we're strangers when we meet
           E
Heel head over
             D              A
And we're strangers when we meet
