G Bm Em Oh you pretty things D C7 G Don't you know you're driving your mamas and papas insane? A Let me make it plain D C G Gotta make way for the homo superior D Look out at your children Emsus4 Em See their faces in golden rays G D Don't kid yourself they belong to you A E They're the start of the coming race G The earth is a bitch D We've finished our news B7 Em F C Homo sapiens have outgrown their use A7 D G All the strangers came today and it looks as though they're here to stay CHORUS 2 OUTRO: F# G# F# E D F# G# F# E D D6 D D6 D D6 D D6 C# C#6 D# D#6 F# C# ----------------------------------------- NOTES: This song is a piano based song and as far as I'm aware there's no guitar in the original recording at all. I think it's a semitone flat on the recording. They probably all tuned to the piano, I would imagine it's in 'G' rather than in 'F#' so I've written it in 'G.' If you want to play along to the record you'll need to tune your guitar down flat (Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb) The intro and outro are untranscribable for the guitar because sometimes things that are relatively easy to play on the piano are impossible on the guitar and vice-versa. I've just put the backing chords. CHORUS: Again no guitar, but live Mick Ronson used to play a G major run down, sort of: G BmEmD C7 G G BmEmD C7 GADC G E-------------------------------------- B-------------------------------------- G-------------------------------------- D-5-4-2-------5-35-5-4-2-------57------ A-------5-31---5---------5-31----53/10- E-----------31---------------31-------- INTRO: F#G#F#E D D6D D6 G E--2-4-2-0-----------------3 B--2-4-2-0-33333333333333330 F# G# F# E D...then...G--3-5-3-1-22442244224422440 D--4-6-4-2-00000000000000000 A--4-6-4-2-----------------2 E--2-4-2-0-----------------3 OUTRO: F#G#F#E D D6D D6D D6D D6 C#C#6D#D#6 F# C# E--2-4-2--------------------------------2-2-4- B--2-4-2--------------------------------2-2-6- F# G# F# E D...then...G--3-5-3-9------------------------------3-3-6- D--4-6-4-9-7799779977997799-6688-881010-4-4-6- A--4-6-4-7-5555555555555555-4444-666 6 -4-4-4- E--2-4-2--------------------------------2-2--- ----------------------------------------- CHORDS: EADGBE ------ G 320003 C X32010 F# 244322 Bm X24432 C#dim XX2323 F 133211 A X02220 G# 466344 C# X46664 D#dim XX4545 E 022100 A7 X02020 B7 X21202 Emsus4 022200 D XX0232 C7 X32310 Em 022000 C#6 X48XXX F#sus4 244422 B X24442 D6 XX0432 D# XX5343 EAD GBE --- --- D#6 X610XXX |
