Black tie white noise (David Bowie) Transcribed by Emanuele ----------------------------------- Eb7 G6 F#m7 Eb7 Getting my facts from a Benneton ad I'm lookin' thru African eyes Lit by the glare of an L.A. fire Black tie white noise I've got a face, not just my race, Bang Bang I've got you babe G6 Putting on the black tie F#m7 Crankin up the white noise Eb7 Sun comes up and the man goes down And the woman comes again Just an hour or so to be safe from fear Black tie white noise Then we jump thru hoops, we're divisable now, just disappear G6 Putting on the black tie F#m7 Crankin up the white noise Abmaj7 We reach out over race and hold each other's hands Fm7 Dbmaj7 Then die in the flames singing "we shall overcome" Abmaj7 Whoa! What's going on? Fm7 Dbmaj7 There'll be some blood no doubt about it But we'll come thru don't doubt it Abmaj7 I look into your eyes and I know you won't kill me Fm7 Dbmaj7 I look into your eyes and I know you won't kill me You won't kill me Eb7 You won't kill me no But I look into your eyes And I wonder sometimes G6 Putting on the black tie F#m7 Crankin up the white noise Eb7 Oh Lord, just let him see me Lord, Lord just let him hear me Let him call me brother Let him put his arms around me G6 F#m7 Let him put his hands together. Abmaj7 Fm7 Reach out over race and hold each other's hands Dbmaj7 Walk thru the nite thinking we are the world Abmaj7 Whoa! What's going on? Fm7 Dbmaj7 There will be some blood no doubt about it Abmaj7 But we'll come thru don't doubt it I look into your eyes and I know you won't kill me Fm7 Dbmaj7 And I turn my back for I know you won't kill me You won't kill me Eb7 You won't kill me no But I wonder why Yes, I wonder why sometimes G6 Putting on the black tie F#m7 Crankin up the white noise Eb7 They'll show us how to break the rules But never how to make the rules Reduce us down to witless punks Black tie white noise G6 Fascist cries both black and white, who's got the blood, who's got the gun.
