[Verse 1]

F F Am Am Cm/Eb Cm/Eb
It's a god-awful small affair
D7 D7
To the girl with the mousy hair
Gm Gm Bb Bb C7 C7
But her mummy is yelling "No"
F F
And her daddy has told her to go
F F Am Am Cm/Eb Cm/Eb
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
D7 D7
Now she walks through her sunken dream.
Gm Gm Bb Bb C7 C7
To the seat with the clearest view

And she's hooked to the silver screen


[Pre-Chorus]

Ab Ab Eaug Eaug Fm Fm
But the film is a saddening bore
G#7 G#7
For she's lived it ten times or more
C# C# Aaug Aaug Bbm Bbm
She could spit in the eyes of fools
C#7 C#7
As they ask her to focus on


[Chorus]

Bb Bb Eb Eb
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Gm7 Gm7 F#aug F#aug F F
Oh man! look at those cavemen go
Fm Fm Cm7 Cm7
It's the freakiest show
Ebm7 Ebm7 Bb Bb
Take a look at the lawman
Eb Eb
Beating up the wrong guy
Gm Gm F#aug F#aug
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
F F Fm Fm Cm7 Cm7
He's in the best selling show
Ebm7 Ebm7 Gm7 Gm7 F#aug F#aug Bb Bb C/E C/E
Is there life on Mars?


[Bridge]

F F F#dim F#dim Gm Gm Ddim Ddim Am Am Bb Bb Bbm Bbm


[Verse 2]

F F Am Am Cm/Eb Cm/Eb
It's on Amerika's tortured brow
D7 D7
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Gm Gm Bb Bb C7 C7
Now the workers have struck for fame
F F
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
F F Am Am Cm/Eb Cm/Eb
See the mice in their million hordes
D7 D7
From Ibeza to the norfolk broads
Gm Gm Bb Bb C7 C7
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
. F F
To my mother, my dog, and clowns


[Pre-Chorus]

Ab Ab Eaug Eaug Fm Fm
But the film is a saddening bore
G#7 G#7
For she's lived it ten times or more
C# C# Aaug Aaug Bbm Bbm
She could spit in the eyes of fools
C#7 C#7
As they ask her to focus on


[Chorus]

Sailors fighting in the dance hall

Oh man! look at those cavemen go

About this song: Life On Mars

"Life on Mars?" is a song by David Bowie first released in 1971 on the album Hunky Dory and also released as a single. The song—which BBC Radio 2 later called "a cross between a Broadway musical and a Salvador Dalí painting"—featured guest piano work by keyboardist Rick Wakeman. When released as a single in 1973, it reached #3 in the UK and stayed on the chart for thirteen weeks. The song re-entered the UK charts at #55 over 30 years later, largely because of its use in the original British television series Life on Mars. Read more on Last.fm.
