I don't think there is any actual guitar in the record. When they performed it live Bowie used to strum an acoustic and Ronson would come in on the chorus with overdrive and beef it up just by playing the C major run down. The piano chords behind the sax outro and the intro don't transpose to guitar very easily. Playing some of the chords in different positions may help, like for example all as barres... EADGBE ------ Cmaj7 X3545X Db7 X4646X Dm7 X5756X Eb7 X6868X You'll notice I've substituted a Db7 for the Dbadd6. It still sounds alright. It's much easier to play like this. It also sounds better if you don't sound the whole chords. Only the four middle strings. The high E string doesn't seem to fit into that intro for some reason! MAIN RIFF: The 'F' and 'D' bit with the saxophone playing. Live Mick Ronson used to do it instead, with balls. So here are the notes: D F E------------------- B------------------- G-----2242-22222222- D-0034-----33333333- A----------33333333- E----------11111111- The actual run is played over the 'D' chord and the 'F' chord is stabbed afterwards. SAX OUTRO: Here it is transcribed for guitar as well as I could, but take into consideration, different instruments don't always come across too well on the guitar: C Dm7 Em7 Eb7 Dm7 Dbmaj7 Cmaj7 E-------------------------------------------- B-------------------------------------------- G-------------------------------------------- D-------------75-----------------3-2-3-2-3-2- A-35775H7P535---75365H6P535-6535------------- E-------------------------------------------- The phrasing and timing will have to be left up to your ears and nimble fingers, but all the notes are there for ya! ----------------------------------------- CHORDS: EADGBE ------ G 320033 Bb X13331 F/E 033211 Dm7 XX0211 Dbadd6 X4332X D XX0232 C/B X22010 Em 022000 Dbm7 X46454 F 133211 C/A X02010 Em7 020000 Ebm7 X68676 C X32010 C/G 332010 Eb7 XX1323 Cmaj7 X32000
