David Bowie - Loving The Alien

[intro]
Csus2  Dsus2  Em7  A5
Em7  Bm7  B7

[verse]
               Em7
Watching them come and go
                      Bm7
The Templars and the Saracens
                        Cmaj7
They're travelling the holy land
         Bm7          B7
Opening telegrams, wohoo
                   Em7
Torture comes and torture goes
                       Bm7
Knights who'd give you anything
                        Cmaj7
They bear the cross of Coeur de Leon
                   Bm7             B7
Salvation for the mirror blind, wohoo

[bridge]
             Cm
But if you pray
          Bb
all your sins are hooked
 F/A
upon
      G#6
the sky
  Dm          Am/C        G#6       G
Pray and the heathen lie will disappear

[chorus]
  Csus2
Prayers they hide
     Dsus2
the saddest view
                 Eb6
Believing the strangest things,
           D7sus4
loving the alien
           Csus2                  Dsus2
And your prayers they break the sky in two
                 Eb6
Believing the strangest things,
           D7sus4
loving the alien

[instrumental]
Em7  Bm7  B7

[verse]
               Em7
Thinking of a different time
             Bm7
Palestine a modern problem
                 Cmaj7
Bounty and your wealth in land
             Bm7               B7
Terror in a best laid plan, wohoo
               Em7
Watching them come and go
                   Bm7
Tomorrows and the yesterdays
                   Cmaj7
Christians and the unbelievers
                 Bm7          B7
Hanging by the cross and nail

[bridge]
             Cm
But if you pray
          Bb
all your sins are hooked

And your prayers they break the sky in two
                 Eb6
Believing the strangest things,
           D7sus4
loving the alien
    Csus2                 Dsus2
You pray til the break of dawn
                 Eb6
(Believing the strangest things,
          D7sus4
loving the alien)
           Csus2                  Dsus2
And you'll believe you're loving the alien
