She's Got Medals by David Bowie
(From "London Boy" and many other compilations of his pre-"Space Oddity" days)
[Intro]
C Csus4 C C7
F C G D A C A A7A
| | | | |
[Verse 1]
F C G D A
She walked through the door and she'd set up the drinks on the house
F C G D A
She played a good game of darts, and the men slapped her back, never took her out
Bm F# Bm E A E
She wore a trenchcoat khaki, her hobnail boots were full of holes.
[Chorus]
E A E7
She's got medals.
F C G D A C A A7A
| | | | |
[Verse 2]
F C G D A
Her mother called her Mary but she changed her name to Tommy, she's a one.
F C G D A
She went and joined the army, passed the medical, don't ask me how it's done.
Bm F# Bm E A E
They sent her to the front line, fighting for her country's name
[Chorus]
E A E7
She's got medals.
[Bridge]
B G
She got very tired of picking up girls,
C F
Cleaning her gun, and shaving her curls
Bb Eb C F
()
Then the enemy dropped a bomb, survivors there were none!
F C G D A C A A7A
| | | | |
[Verse 3]
F C G D A
People say that when the moon is full and all the stars have gone to bed
F C G D A
You can see a ghost but that's a lie because the naughty woman isn't dead.
Bm F# Bm E A E
She deserted on the previous morning, replaced her uniform with dresses silk and green
E A E
Called herself Eileen,
E A E
came to London town,
E A E
now she's settled down.
[Chorus]
E A E7
She's got medals.
F C G D A C A A7A
