B O W I E

'B O W I E' is what the star shaped elements spell. No other than David Bowie - and designer Jonathan Barnbrook - would go the extra mile to even create his own star shaped typeface on his last Piece of Art 'Blackstar' released only a few days ago on his 69th birthday.

Today we lost a great artist who most certainly inspired my artistic rebellion when I was young. This is me in 1974 playing Bowie songs in a school band having the typical Bowie short hair on top and long in the neck hairstyle.

I would like to dedicate my fav song 'Rock & Roll Suicide' to my hero today!

ROCK 'N' ROLL SUICIDE from Ziggy Stardust


INTRO: C G C G

VERSE 1
C E
Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth
F G Am
You pull on your finger, then another finger, then cigarette
G F G Am
The wall-to-wall is calling, it lingers, then you forget
G F C G
Oh ho ho ho, you're a rock 'n' roll suicide

VERSE 2
C E
You're too old to lose it, too young to choose it
F G Am G
And the clock waits so patiently on your song
F G Am
You walk past the cafe but you don't eat when you've lived too long
G F C G
Oh, no, no, no, you're a rock 'n' roll suicide

VERSE 3
C E
Chev brakes are snarling as you stumble across the road
F G Am G
But the day breaks instead so you hurry home
F G
Don't let the sun blast your shadow
E Am
Don't let the milk-float ride your mind
F D G
They're so natural - religiously unkind
