David Bowie - The Width of a Circle: chords

        A                            E
In the corner of the morning in the past
         A                                  E
I would sit and blame the master first and last
         G                       A
All the roads were straight and narrow
          G                     A
And the prayers were small and yellow
         G                 G#           E
and the rumour spread that I was aging fast
        A            C#m             F#m            D
Then I ran across a monster who was sleeping by a tree
       F                          F#          A G E
And I looked and frowned and the monster was me

Well I said hello and I said hello
And I asked why not and I replied I don't know
So we asked a simple blackbird who was happy as can be
And he laughed insane and quipped Kahil Gibran
So I cried for all the others till the day was nearly through
For I realised that Gods a young man too

So I said so long and I waved bye bye
And I smashed my soul and traded my mind
Got layed by a young bordello I was vaguely half asleep
For which my reputation swept back home in drag
And the moral of this magic spell negotiate my hide
When God did take my logic for a ride riding a long

    D                                       C G
He swallowed his pride and puckered his lips
      D                                      C G
And showed me the leather belt round his hips
     D                                  C
my knees were shaking my cheeks aflame
    G           D
He said you'll never go down to the Gods again
             C  G
Turn around go back

      G
He struck the ground a cavern appeared
       A
And I smelt the burning pit of fear
     G
We crashed a thousand yards below
        D
I said do it again do it again
             C  G
Turn around go back

     D                        C G
His nebulous body swayed above
     D                             C G
His tongue swollen with devils love
      D                     C
The snake and I a venom high
   G    D
I said do it again do it again
             C  G
Turn around go back

  G
Breathe breathe breathe deeply
           A
And I was seething breathing deeply
    G
A spitting sentry horned and tailed

 D            C G
Waiting for you
