Sweet Head chords by David Bowie

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:

A F#m A F#m

Verse 1:

  A       F#m
I tried to break away from you
      A           F#m
From the spics and blacks and the gum you chew
        A         F#m
Where the posters are torn by the muggin' gangs
     A         F#m
By the faggy parks and the burnt out vans

     E          A
I've got ninety-nine years of laying in the dark
    E        A
And I'm far too young to lie
     E          A
I've got ninety-nine ways to play my guitar
       E        A
It's going to pay me before I die

Chorus:

  E               A
So bob your sweet head, Brother, Ziggy going to play
   E              A
I'm just about the best you can hear
    E            A
Gonna rock it in your head, Shazam! and Kapow!
      E             A
With my guitar and Mr. Bang-o we can give you sweet head

Bridge:

E A E A E A

A B  A B

Repeat Intro:

Verse 2:

     A       F#m
I'm tough as glass and clean as night
     A          F#m
Well if looks can love we can love all right
     A       F#m
I'm your rubber peacock angelic whore
      A       F#m
I'm a wrought iron face upon the wall

     E          A
I had ninety-nine years of murder come life
     E          A
And I'm running away from it all
  E          A
I got a bedroom, every mirror in town
         E       A
They're going to claim me if I fall

Chorus:

  E               A
So bob your sweet head, Brother, Ziggy going to play
   E              A
I'm just about the best you can hear
    E            A
Gonna rock it in your head, Shazam! and Kapow!
      E             A
With my guitar and Mr. Bang-o we can give you sweet head

Verse 3:
   A         F#m
Look south the way your mother dwells
     A             F#m
If she knew what's going down, she'd give you hell
     A       F#m
I'm the kind of man she warned me of
A            F#m
Till there was rock, you only had god

 E        A
You and I have a mutual vow
  E            A
We both like young, and we both like loud
   E            A
I got pretty shoes, and I'm kid and proud
    E            A
I'm street side out with my ear to the crowd

Chorus:

  E               A
So bob your sweet head, Brother, Ziggy going to play
