It was written by David Bowie, but I've never heard his version. I plan to transcribe some Bowie songs pretty soon. To play this along with the CD you must tune one note down. Tab symbols used: ----------------- h = hammer-on p = pull-off / = slide up \ = slide down * = when you see a star next to a chord, it means you strum the chord only once and let it ring. N.C. = No Chord (Don't play anything) INTRO: ------ Kurt plays tab, Pat Smear plays chords above tab. N.C. (no chord) E|--------------------------------------------------------------- B|--------------------------------------------------------------- G|--2-2-2-0---2h3p2-0---2-2-2-0---2h3p2-0---2-2-2-0---2h3p2-0---- D|--------------------------------------------------------------- A|--------------------------------------------------------------- E|--------------------------------------------------------------- F Dm * E-------------------------------------------------------------------| B-------------------------------------------------------------------| G--2-2-2-0---2h3p2-0---2-2-2-0---2h3p2-0---2-2-2-0---2h3p2-0---2----| D-------------------------------------------------------------------| A-------------------------------------------------------------------| E-------------------------------------------------------------------| VERSE 1: -------- A Dm We passed upon the stair, we spoke in was and when A F Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend C A Which came as a surprise, I spoke into his eyes Dm C I thought you died alone, a long long time ago BASS-TAB for CHORUS: -------------------- I'll just tab what the bass plays when the guitar plays each chord.
