Hozier - Young Americans (David Bowie Tribute) Live Birmingham 02/01/16 chords
Start Jamming...
[N] This year, [D] early this year, marked one of the greatest losses conceivable to [B] music in the last [D#] 100 years.
So, [B] we're just, we're gonna do a little song now.
[C] And I hope you enjoy [B] it.
[C] Obviously one of David Bowie's, it's not one of mine.
[D]
[E] [B] Holding just behind the bridge you laid me [C#m] down
You [E] frowned, you said my life's a funny thing
Am I [B] still too [F#] young?
[B] Kissed her then left
Took his [C#m] ring, [E] took his [C#m] baby
[E] Took him in, took her nowhere
[F#] Heaven knows she'd have taken anything
[E] Oh, [F#] now she wants the young [B] American
Young American, young American
[C#m] She wants the young American
[E] Oh, [F#] now she wants the [B] young American
Skin and eye through the picture window
[C#m] She's the slinkiest you've ever borne
[E] Crossed the passage of Ford Mustang
[F#]
Heaven forbid she'd take anything
[B]
But the freak in his car, no fun to hang
[C#m]
It's her step and it's his hand
[E]
Showing nothing, he scoops up his phone
[F#]
Where's old Papa's hero gone?
[E]
Oh, [F#] now she [B] wants the young American
Young American, young [C#m] American
She wants the [E] young American
Oh,
[F#] now she wants [B] the young American
All the way from Washington
[C#m] Spreading her legs on the bathroom floor
All the way, [E] all the way, just 20 years
[F#] Do we die for the 50 more?
[E]
[B] She wants the young American
Young American, young [C#m] American
She wants the young American
[E] Oh, now [B] she wants the young American
[G#m] Do you [D#m] remember?
[B]
President Nixon?
Do you [G#m]
remember?
[D#m] The [E] news you heard today
Or [F#] even yesterday?
[E]
[F#]
She wants [B] the young American
And the freedom, and the hope
[C#m] She's got a teddy and the baby's got a pipe
[E] Black's got a spare, white's got a soul
[F#] Blue's got tramps and a loopy [B] jazzy
[C#m] I got the sweet and you got the beer
[E] Ain't there a man who can sing more?
[F#] Ain't there a woman I can sock on the door?
[B] Ain't there a child I can hold without judging?
[C#m] Ain't there a picnic and a life before they die?
[E] Ain't there a proud if you still got to be?
[F#] If there was [B] that one damn [F#] song that could make me
[E] Break down [D#] and cry
[E]
Oh, [F#] now she [B] wants the young American
[D]
