David Bowie - Blackout: chords

   Am                G
Oh you, you walk on past
      D
Your lips cut a smile on your face
(Your scalding face)
        Am           G
To the cage, to the cage
           D
She was a beauty in a cage

Am                G
Too, too high a price
     D
To drink rotting wine from your hands
(Your fearful hands)
Get me to a doctor's I've been told
 F
Someone's back in town, the chips are down
G
I just cut and blackout
I'm under Japanese influence
                     Am
And my honour's at stake

                   G
The weather's grim, ice on the cages
                   F
Me, I'm Robin Hood and I puff on my cigarette
                         E
Panthers are steaming, stalking, screaming

E        D
If you don't stay tonight
Am      G          D
I will take that plane tonight
     Am                        D
I've nothing to lose, nothing to gain
     Am
I'll kiss you in the rain
D
Kiss you in the rain (kiss you in the rain)
Am                     G
Kiss you in the rain (kiss you in the rain)
D
In the rain (In the rain)
Get me to the doctor

Chorus:
Am                    G
Get me off the streets (get some protection)
F                E
Get me on my feet (get some direction)
E
Hot air gets me into a blackout
D                          A G
Oh, get me off the streets
D
Get some protection
     A               G A D
Oh, get me on my feet

While the streets block off
Getting some skin exposure to the blackout
(Get some protection)
Get me on my feet
(Get some direction, wo-ooh!)
Oh get me on my feet
Get me off the streets
(Get some protection)
