Hang On To Yourself (words & music by David Bowie)
This song is featured off of Bowie~s -The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust are most of Bowie~s songs. Before I write down the chords, I must explain that the chords G5* and B5* are played respectively:
--3-3--3-3--3-3--3-3--3-3-3- B --3-3--3-3--3-3--3-3--3-3-3- (of course, it would be auspicious to G --0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0-0- accent the bass notes to give it that D --0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0-0- cool song that the song cannot live A --x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x-x- without. -h- stands for hammer-on) E --2h3--3-3--2h3--3-3--2h3-3-
---------------------------- ---------------------------- G --4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4-4- (this time instead of hammering on, it D --4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4-4- would be better to slide from the first A --1s2--2-2--1s2--2-2--1s2-2- fret to the second playing B5*) ----------------------------
The song with the chords are:
Well she is a tongue twisting storm, she will come to the show tonight
Praying to the light machine
She wants my honey not my money she~s a funky-thigh collector
Laying on electric dreams
So come on, come on, we~ve really got a good thing going
Well come on, come on, if you think we~re gonna make it
You better hang on to yourself
We can~t dance, we don~t talk much, we just ball and play
But then we move like tigers on vaseline
Well the bitter comes out better on a stolen guitar
You~re the blessed, we~re the spiders from Mars
So come on, come on, we~ve really got a good thing going
Well come on, come on, if you think we~re gonna make it
You better hang on to yourself
Solo Chords: A D A D
So come on, come on, we~ve really got a good thing going
Well come on, come on, if you think we~re gonna make it
You better hang on to yourself
(and the song ends...or whatever...)
