This is actually the first song officially recorded by Bowie that he himself

You think you're gonna please her
       F
so you walk right up and tease her
        E              A
but she walks right on by

F#
You're scared to walk beside her
              F
'cause you're playin' with a spider
       E          A
who posesses the sky

              E                  A
She's got the green backs, my oh my
          E              A
You gotta act tall think big
                    E           A
if you wanna make a mark in her book
            E                   A
Gotta get a hit get a car fancy clothes
                          E              A
or she'll throw you right off of her hook
           E
Here's the news you are but one fish in her back garden sea
A                   E             A
  Gotta make like a shark to be free
                      E
