BOMBERS- David Bowie
CHORUS 1:
C G Bb F
All clear wailed the si-rens
C G Bb F
Sunshine on the wasteland
C G Bb F
Old man sitting in the white sand
E A F E
Think we're in for a big surprise right between the
E7
eyes
C G Bb F
Seemed a good idea to drop a bomb on the wasteland here
Dm C Bb F
Only one man could be seen and he was old and so serene
C G Bb
Captain sat in his deckchair and the red light flashed
F
beware
Dm C Bb
Pilot felt quite big time as the bomb sailed through
F
the air
C Dm
Well they danced & sang when the bang went bang
Em F Bb
but the lights bulked out when the smoke began to clear
G G/F G/E G/D
It was positively queer
CHORUS 2
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/d/david_bowie/bombers_crd.html ]
C G Bb F
'Die' said the General, 'Cobblers' said the man
Dm C Bb F
So the Pentagon sent a cable and the Queen a telegram
C G
A-bombs, H-bombs even very small ones
Bb F
Ripped apart that sand
Dm C Bb
Till the stench was just revolting and the sky a
F
creamish tan
C Dm
But the soldier said "Sir, there's a crack in the world"
Em F
And the blippers went spark and the bits went far and
Bb
wide
G G/F G/E G/D
how the universe sighed
CHORUS 3:
C G Bb F
All clear wailed the si-rens
C G Bb F
Sunshine on the wasteland
C G Bb F
Old man sitting in the white sand
E A F E
Think were in for a big surprise right between the eyes
CHORUS 4:
C G Bb F
All clear wailed the si-rens
C G Bb F
Sunshine on the wasteland
C G Bb F
Old man sitting in the white sand
E A F E E7
Think were in for a big surprise right between the eyes
Dm G C F
When the smoke had blown away there was nothing left to view
Eb D F C
Except a man dear lord who looked like you floating high up in the sky!
