David Bowie - All the madmen                               

Intro: G E G E A G E

Verse:

E
Day after day
     E7                E
They send my friends away
   E7                E
To mansions cold and grey
       F      
To the far side of town
          Dm7                E
Where the thin men stalk the streets
          F               E
While the sane stay underground

E
Day after day
     E7            E
They tell me I can go
     E7            E
They tell me I can blow
       F     
To the far side of town
           Dm7             E
Where it's pointless to be high
            F               E
'Cause it's such a long way down

So I tell them that

Break:
E     
I can fly
E
I will scream
E               F
I will break my arm
Dm7           E
I will do me harm

E       
Here I stand
E
foot in hand 
E             F
talking to my wall
    Dm7                E     
I'm not quite right at all...am I?

Pre Chorus:
F            
Don't set me free 
       G
I'm as heavy as can be
        F
Just my librium and me
       E
And my E.S.T. make three

Chorus:
           A
'Cause I'd rather stay here
     E
With all the madmen
     F#m              A             C#
Than perish with the sadmen roaming free

        A                                                        
And I'd rather play here
     E
With all the madmen
        F#m                   A              Bm
For I'm quite content they're all as sane as me

E A F#m Bm G

(Silence 12 beats or so)
Where can the horizon lie
When a nation hides
Its organic minds
In a cellar...
dark and grim
They must be very dim

Verse:

E
Day after day
     E7                E
They take some brain away
     E7            E
Then turn my face around
       F
To the far side of town
    Dm7               E
And tell me that it's real
     F            E
Then ask me how I feel


Break:

E E E F Dm7 E E

E       
Here I stand
E
foot in hand 
E             F
talking to my wall
    Dm7                E   
I'm not quite right at all

Pre Chorus:

F
Don't set me free
       G 
I'm as helpless as can be
     F
My libido's split on me
           E
Gimme some good 'ol lobotomy

Chorus:
           A
'Cause I'd rather stay here
     E
With all the madmen
     F#m              A             C#
Than perish with the sadmen roaming free


        A
And I'd rather play here
     E
With all the madmen
        F#m                   A              Bm
For I'm quite content they're all as sane as me
