Heaven forbid she'll take anything

Misses a step and cuts his hand

Showing nothing he swoops like a song

Have you been the un-American

In case, just in case of depression

Ain't that close to love?

"I heard the news today, oh boy"
Em
I got-suite and you got defeat

Ain't there a man-who could say no more
A
Ain't there a woman-I can sock on the jaw
D
Ain't there a child-I can hold without judging

and ain't there one damn song that can make me
break down and cry...

All night-you want the young American

It's all right-you want the young American
Here is a David Bowie song I tried to figure out the other day and this is
what I came up with. I am not sure I got everything correct. The G might
be a Gsus4 or something similar. Help me out here. Corrections are welcome!
