Slow Burn

Words and music by David Bowie

INTRO:  F  Am  x4

F                          	    Am
Here shall we live in this terrible town
                F                                                      Am
Where the price for our eyes shall squeeze them tight like a fist
             F                                         Am
And the walls shall have eyes and the doors shall have ears
              F                                        Am
But we'll dance in the dark and they'll play with our lives


          Dm                           F
Like a Slow Burn leading us on and on and on
          Dm                           F
Like a Slow Burn turning us round and round and round
Bb                                    Gm
But who are we so small in times such as these
         F      Am
Slow Burn
         F      Am
Slow Burn


SOLO: F  Am  F  Am


       F                                            Am
Oh, these are the days these are the strangest of all
F                                                Am
These are the nights these are the darkest to fall
      F                               Am
But who knows echoes in tenement halls
F                                 Am
Who knows though the years snare them all


          Dm                           F
Like a Slow Burn leading us on and on and on
          Dm                           F
Like a Slow Burn turning us round and round and upside down
            Bb                            Gm
There's fear over there there's fear over ground
         F      Am
Slow Burn
         F      Am
Slow Burn
          Dm                           F
Like a Slow Burn leading us on and on and on
          Dm                           F
Like a Slow Burn turning us round and round and round
       Bb                      Gm
And here are we at the centre of it all
         F      Am
Slow Burn
         F      Am
Slow Burn
         F      Am
Slow Burn
