PRETTIEST STAR from Aladdin Sane
INTRO: F Dm D#dim5 A C
F Dm
Cold fire, you've got everything but cold fire
D#dim5 A
You will be my rest and peace child
C
I moved up to take a place...near you
F Dm
So tired, it's the sky that makes you feel tried
D#dim5 A
It's a trick to make you see wide
C
It can all but break your heart...in pieces
Bb Am
Staying back in your memory
Eb F
Are the movies in the past
Gm Dm
How you moved is all it takes
C Bb A
To sing a song of when I loved the Prettiest Star
F Dm
One day though it might as well be someday
D#dim5 A
You and I will rise up all the way
C
All because of what you are
F F7

2/12/2005 - 17:29:31 of course the "unreleased" version with bolan on guitar instead of ronson (and visconti on bass) is much much better!

13/10/2003 - 20:02:56 i think that verses sound better when you replace that crazy D#dim5(what the hell is that!?!) with just a simple Dm11 played from the 5th fret.. try it!

15/8/2002 - 18:12:59 The original guit. solo was performed & "written" by Marc Bolan, the initial founder of glam rock, and Mick Ronson copied it by note!
I just thought that should be noted, otherwise I only have compliments! =) good work indeed!
