I'm up on the eleventh floor and I'm watching the cruisers below
C F C G F C G F
He's down on the street and he's trying hard to pull sister Flo
C F C G F C G F
Oh, My heart's in the basement my weekend's at an all time low
C F
'Cause she's hoping to score so I can't see her letting him go
C E A
Walk out of her heart walk out of her mind, Oh not her
CHORUS 1:
B D B D
She's so swishy in her satin and tat in her frock coat and bipperty-bopperty hat
B C G F C G F C G F C G F
Oh God I could do better than that
C F C G F C G F
She's an old time ambassador of sweet talking night walking games
C F C G F C G F
Oh, and she's known in the darkest clubs for pushing ahead of the dames
C F C G F C G F
If she says she can do it she can do it she don't make false claims
C F E
For she's a queen and such are queens that your laughter is sucked in their brains
F C
Now she's leading him on and she'll lay him right down
F E
Yeah she's leading him on and she'll lay him right down
F C
But it could have been me yes it could have been me
E A
Why did'nt I say why did'nt I say, No, no, no
CHORUS 2
C F C G F C G F
So I lay down a while and I gaze at my hotel wall
C F C G F C G F
Oh the cot is so cold it don't feel like no bed at all
C F C G F C G F
Yeah, I lay down a while and look at my hotel wall
C F E
And he's down on the street so I throw both his bags down the hall
F C
And I'm phoning a cab cause my stomach feels small
F E
There's a taste in my mouth and it's no taste at all
F C
It could have been and yes it could have been me
E A
Why did'nt I say why did'nt I say, No, no, no

11/10/2004 - 21:54:41 the c chord is played as normal but the F is actully Fmaj11 is you watch his guitar neck closely. The G is the same chord but 2 frets along. The C G F chord change is quite difficult normal so its not surprising bowie played it a diffrent way. Mick Ronson also plays these chords. I noticed this on the recording of bowie on the old grey whistle test.
