Highly techno piece of jungle beat music, but here's a good chord thing, and
it sounds cool by itself. Words from http://www.davidbowie.com

To David Bowie:  If you ever read this, e-mail me and tell me how I did, and
you                  will have made my year.  [email protected] is the address.


There's an E based intro that you could play by doing an E(022100) all the
time, or make up for the loss of special effects by playing (X-12-11-12-12-12).

Verse 1:
        B                         F#                            A       A
          My, my, but time do fly, When it's in another pair of hands.
              B                         F#                        A       A
        And a loser I will be, for I've never been a winner in my life.
        (Continue chord pattern)
        I got used to stress and pain, I used the sucker pills,
                and pity for the self.
        Though it's the animal in me, But I'd rather be
                a beggar man on the shelf.


        G                                 F#
        Don't be so forlorn it's just the payoff
                                 E
        It's the rain before the storm.
             G                               F#
        On a better day I'll take you by the hand
                                      E
        And I'll walk you through the door.
        G                                 F#
        Don't be so forlorn it's just the payoff
                                 A
        It's the rain before the storm.

        C                               G
        Don't you let my letter get you down.
        Bb                           F
                                     (Don't you don't you don't you don't you)

Intro thingy 4X or so

        C                               G
        Don't you let my letter get you down.
        Bb                           F
                                     (Don't you don't you don't you don't you)

Intro thingy fade away
