The Bewlay Brothers Chords by David Bowie

_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] [A] And so the [D] story goes, they wore the clothes, they said the things to make [E] it seem improbable.
[A] _ _ The will of a lie like the [D] hope it was. _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _
And the good men tomorrow had their feet in the [Em] wallow and their heads are brown with nice [A] ashorn and how they bought their [D] positions with saccharine and trust. _ _
[Em] And the world was asleep [A] to our latent farce.
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ Signs swirled through the [A] streets like the crust of the sun, [Bm] the view it brought us.
_ _ In [A] our whims that barked, _ _ flashing [G] truth before us, _ _ _ stepping [F#] tall in the dark.
_ _ [A] On we would go, _ _ _ hanging out [G] with your 12 men, _ we were [Em] so turned on.
Like _ [G] a [C] compulsion. _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[D] I was stolen, he was [G] whacked, so [D] he could scream and still [Em] relax.
Unbelievable.
_ [A] _ And we frightened the [D] small children away. _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ [A] _ [D] _ [A] And [D] our talk was old and [G] dust would flow through our veins [D] and though it [Em] was midnight back at the kitchen door, like [A] the grim face [D] on the cathedral floor. _ _ _ _ _
[Em] The solid book we [A] wrote could not be found [D] today.
_ _ _ _ _ And [Em] it was stalking time for the [D] moon [A] boys, the [Bm] Beaulieu brothers.
_ _ _ _ With [A] our backs on the arch, _ _ and [G] if the devil may be here, _ _ then [F#] he can't sing a fantastic _ _ [B] _ _
[A] _ song.
_ _ _ Real [G] cool strangers.
_ _ _ We were [Bm] so [Em] turned on.
_ _ You thought we [C] were fakers. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
[D] And now the dress is hung, the ticket pawned, the factor max that proved [Em] the factors melted _ down.
[A] Woven on the edging [D] of my pillow. _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] And my brother lays upon the rocks, he could be dead, he [A] could be [Em] not, he could be you.
He's [D] chameleon, [Em] comedian, [D] Corinthian and caricature. _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ Shooting up [A] high in the sky, _
[D] Beaulieu brothers. _ _ _ _
[Em] In the feeble, in the bed, [A] _ [D] _ [A] _
[Bm] Beaulieu brothers.
_ _ _ _ In [A] the desert and cold, _ _ _ [G] in the crutch and in dark, _ _ is [F#] where we laid our mark.
_ Scrolls, [A] we were gone.
_ _ _ _ Kings of [G]
Oblivion, _ _ _ we were [Bm] so [Em] turned on.
_ _ In the [D] Nightwolf [C] Pavilion.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G#] Lay me [C] place and make me lie, [F] I'm starving [B] for me _ gravy. _
Leave my [C] shoes and door unlocked, [F] I might just rip [Bm] a leg.
Hey, _ _ [F] just for the day.
_ _ Hey, please [Bm] come away. _ _ _ _ _
Just [F] for the day.
_ Hey, please [Bm] come away. _ _ _ _
Please [F] come away.
_ _ Just _ [B] for the [Bm] day. _ _ _ _
Please [F] come away. _ _ _ _
Please [Bm] come away.
Free, alright, _ [F] FridgeTown Alight!
_ _ Free, _ [Bm] FridgeTown Alight!
_ Free, _
_ _ [F] Alight! _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] Alight! _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
