Life On Mars Ukulele

(ver. 1)
David Bowie
VERSE 1
F           Fmaj7
     It's a god-awful small affair
F7          D7
     To the girl with the mousy hair
Gm          Gm7
     But her mummy is yelling "No"
C7
     And her daddy has told her to go
F           Fmaj7
     But her friend is nowhere to be seen
F7          D7
     Now she walks through her sunken dream
Gm          Gm7
To the seat with the clearest view
C7
And she's hooked to the silver screen
Ab          E+
But the film is a saddening bore
Fm          Gbsus2
For she's lived it ten times or more
Db          A+
She could spit in the eyes of fools
Bbm         Db7
As they ask her to focus on

CHORUS
Bb         Eb
Sailors    fighting in the dance hall
Gm7        Gb+
   Oh man! Look at those cavemen 
F          Fm                     Cm7
go           It's the freakiest show
Ebm7
    Take a look at the 
Bb         Eb
Lawman     Beating up the wrong guy
Gm7        Gb+
   Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
F          Fm                        Cm7
           He's in the best selling show
Ebm7                   Gm7         Gb+
      Is there life on Mars?
Bb         C9/E

VERSE 2
F           Fmaj7
    It's on Amerika's tortured brow
F7             D7
   That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Gm         Gm7
       Now the workers have struck for 
C7
fame, 'Cause Lennon's on sale again
F          Fmaj7                     F7
   See the mice in their million hordes
F7         D7
      From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Gm         Gm7
  Rule Britannia is out of bounds
C7
   To my mother, my dog, and clowns
Ab          E+
   But the film is a saddening bore
Fm         Gbsus2
  'Cause I wrote it ten times or more 
Db          A+
     It's about to be writ again
Bbm        Db
      As I ask you to focus on

CHORUS
Bb         Eb
Sailors    fighting in the dance hall
Gm7        Gb+
   Oh man! Look at those cavemen 
F          Fm                     Cm7
go           It's the freakiest show
Ebm7
    Take a look at the 
Bb         Eb
Lawman     Beating up the wrong guy
Gm7        Gb+
   Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
F          Fm                        Cm7
           He's in the best selling show
Ebm7                   Gm7         Gb+
      Is there life on Mars?
