The Bewlay Brothers Chords by David Bowie

[Start]

[Intro]
D Em A D Em A
■ ■  ■ ■ ■  ■
           D                               
And so the story goes they wore the clothes
                                Em              A
They said the things to make it seem improbable ■
           D                         Em7
Whale of a lie like they hope it was ■  


[Verse]
A         D                                             
■ And the good men tomorrow had their feet in the wallow
          Em                             
And their heads of brawn were nicer shorn
    A                               D                       
And how they bought their positions with saccharin and trust
        Em7                 A               D
And the world was asleep to our latent fuss ■
Em                                  A                             Bm             
Sighing's swirl through the streets like the crust of the sun the Bewlay Brothers


[Chorus]
       A              
In our wings that bark
G                      
Flashing teeth of brass
Gb               Gb7 Gb  
Standing tall in the dark
Gbsus4                A   
■      Oh and we were gone
                      G        
Hanging out with your dwarf men
                  Em
We were so turned on
                C          
By your lack of conclusions


[Intro]
C D Em A7
■ ■ ■  ■ 
D           D                 Asus4    D                     
I was stone and he was wax so he could scream and still relax
Em           A7                       D                   Em
Unbelievable ■  And we frightened the small children away ■ 


[Verse]
A7         D                               
■  And our talk was old and dust would flow
                                             Em                      
Through our veins and though it was midnight back at the kitchen door
A                         D              
Like the grim face on the cathedral floor
Em                      A7              D    
The solid book we wrote cannot be found today
Em                  Em           A                    Bm      
And it was stalking time for the moon boys the Bewlay Brothers


[Chorus]
         A                
With our backs on the arch
           G                
And if the Devil may be here
       Gb                   
But he can't sing about that
Gbsus4         A   
Oh and we were gone
          G      
Real cool traders
                  Em
We were so turned on


[Verse]
                    C      D
You thought we were fakers ■
Em A             D                              
■  ■ And now the dress is hung the ticket pawned
                                       Em     Em7 
The factor max that proved the fact is melted down
A                         D      D
Woven on the edging of my pillow ■
Em Asus4        D                          
■  ■     And my brother lays upon the rocks
                    A               Em          
He could be dead he could be not he could be you
     Asus4                             D          D
He's chameleon comedian Corinthian and caricature ■
Em                        A7 
■  Shooting up pie in the sky
D              
Bewlay brothers
       Em7              
In the feeble in the bad
                A Bm
Bewlay brothers ■ ■ 
       A               
In the blessed and cold
       G                
In the crutchhungry dark
             Gb         Gb7 
Was where we flayed our mark
Gb                A   
■  Oh and we were gone


[Chorus]
         G       
Kings of Oblivion
                  Em
We were so turned on
                  C       
In the night walk pavilion
Bm               C               F                    
Lay me place and bake me pie I'm starving for me gravy
Bm                 C               F               Bm  
Leave my shoes and door unlocked I might just slip away
                 F 
Just for the day ay
            Bm     
Please come away ay
             F     
Just for the day ay
            Bm     
Please come away ay


[Outro]
            F      
Please come away ay
             Bm    
Just for the day ay
       F    Bm F    N.C.
Please come ■  away ay  
N.C.               
Please come away ay
N.C.            
Please come away
N.C.            
Please come away
N.C.     
Away Away
