_ _ Now one day, this will be evidence. _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] _ Thank you very much New York.
_ This is a very special town.
This is a very special town for us. _ _ _ _
_ _ And when you live in very special towns, very special things happen.
_ You're lucky to live here, and you're lucky that tonight we have a very, very special friend _ _ _ _ who's going to join us.
Please give a warm New York [Gbm] welcome to Mr.
David Bowie.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Thank you.
_ _ Thanks _ _ a lot. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I've worked with Placebo on the same stage [E] since 1996.
I think we've been working on it for four [Db] years.
And [E] this is the first time that we've actually done a gig [Gb] together.
So for me it was a treat.
It's a fabulous band, Placebo.
Thank you.

_ _ _ _ Strange [Ab] _ _
[Bbm] infatuation seems to grace [Ab] the evening [Gb] time.
_ I'll take [Ab] it by your [Bbm] side.
_ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ [C] _ _ Such [Ab] _
imagination [Fm] _ seems to help the [Ab]
feelings [Gb] slide.
_ I'll take [Ab] it by your [Bbm] side.
_ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ How did you become [Fm] involved in becoming the opening band for David at his birthday [C] concert?
_ Well, _ [Ab] SpaceGovianca, we actually [Bbm] go back a lot longer than that, don't we guys?
[C] _
_ Absolutely.
Would you like to explain how?
No, you [Eb] tell the [F] story.
Well, I'll say that I spotted them, [C] believe it or not.
I thought they were a really terrific band.
[Gb] And Nancy [Ab] Barrett, I believe it [Bb] was, had called Virgin letting her [Ab] know [Bb] their very earliest things, including the song Nancy Boy.
_ And I thought, [Db] that's a terrific [F] song for a bunch of chaps to sing.
[Bbm] I think they'll probably beat you.
_ _ _ _ So_ _
Tick, [Gb] tick, _ _ tick, _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
_ tick, _ _ _ _ tick, tock, _ _ _ _ [Fm]
tick.
[Ebm] I'm a queen, a _ libertine, and every time you venture, squeal, [Bbm] I seem to lose the power of speech.
You're slipping [Fm] slowly [Gb] from [Fm] my reach to [Ebm] grow me like an evergreen.
You've never seen the love in me [Bbm] at all. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ It was actually, [Eb] he got hold of our demos, and we _ started playing with you before we even recorded the first [F] album.
[Bb] And I kept on with it, like a dog with a bone, screwed the pump, to put out Nancy Boy.
_ _ [Eb] _
_ Very good.
All their songs are really [Ab] good.
I think their songs [F] are much better now.
_ _ _ [Cm] [F] Thank you for giving us [Bb] our first_
But it's been fairly consistent, hasn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's been a consistent relationship.
I _ [Ebm] _
mean_
_ _ _ _ [Gb] Would that help you?
I'm [Bbm] nothing.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] Would that help you?
_ I'm [Bbm] nothing.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gb] Would that help you?
_ We've worked together quite [Fm] a lot.
We've heard outside with me, and under a cover, I think.
[Bbm] Yeah.
_ It's been great.
It's been [F] very good to know you.
I've enjoyed [Ebm] it a lot, [Db] watching you grow.
_ [Ab] Hopefully I shall [Gb] watch you grow into old age as well.
[Bbm] Because I'm never [G] going to die.
_ _ [Fm] _ [N] Anyway, I'm glad to hear that.
