[E] I was in France, [G] or Switzerland, [D] [Em] in a store looking out on a [G] cobblestone street of a quaint [D] village.
[E] I had [Em] received a toy [D] xylophone in the mail that had been sent by [A] David Bowie, saying
to come visit him at his [Em] recording studio.
[E] There was a form [Eb] letter with [D] my name stamped on it.
[Ebm] [E] Apparently he had [Eb] sent many people [D] the same [Eb] xylophone with the same [E] request, [Eb] saying that
he was working on a new [D] record, [Ebm] and anybody [E] with some ideas should come and visit him.
I [Gb] thought, [A] yeah, he'll take everybody's ideas and then we'll never hear from him again.
The more I pondered this, the less benevolent it gave [E] me became, and [Eb] I looked [G] closer [D] and
realized that it had since been my [E] mistake.
[Ebm] The [D] package was [G] actually addressed to some wealthy people, [E] because an [Gb] elaborate note
was [G] attached, signed by his [Gb] assistant, [E] Coco.
[B] Then I [G] realized [C] the shop I was in [A] was actually a drugstore.
I started to explore my surroundings, and sat [B] down with someone in the back.
It was [A] David Burns.
I was nervous, as I didn't know what to say to such a big star, so I picked up a perfume
bottle next to me that was shaped like the head of King [E] Tut.
[Em] I showed it to him, and I said, [E] isn't this [A] neat?
That seemed to break the ice, and we then proceeded [E] to drink the perfume [B] from [D] large
tumblers full of [E] crushed ice.
[B]
We were getting [D] along very well, [Gb] and [Em] I noticed that the back [Eb] of the store [D] was actually my
parents' house, [Eb] and [E] I [Eb] realized that I was back [D] in work.
[B] [A] Do you want to go take a walk around the town, I asked him.
There's [E] lots of authentic, old [Eb]-fashioned cooking [A] stuff we can look [E] at.
He said [A] okay, and we went out of the house and [E] outside an endless maze of [A] country store.
Full of [E] dry goods and the like, all stored in turn of [D] the century [E] containers.
[Eb] [D] I lost David Burns in [E] my fascination for the [G] surroundings, and [Gb] I never did think of [E] any
[Em] ideas for that other David.
[N] I [E] decided right then and there that I was better off alone, and would never speak to
anyone named David again.
