Criminal World - David Bowie
Bm D
You never told me of your other faces,
F#m A
you were the widow of the wildcat.
Bm D
And now I know about your special kisses,
F#m A
and I know you know where that is at.
Bm D
I guess I recognize your destination,
F#m A
I think I see beneath your make-up.
Bm D
What you want is some seperation,
F#m G
this is no ordinary; this is no ordinary.
Bm D F#m
Oh oh oh what a criminal world,
A Bm
the boys are like baby faced girls.
D F#m
What a criminal girl,
A Bm
She`ll show you how to shoot your gun (gun gun)
D F#m
What a typical mother`s son;
A Bm D F#m
the only thing that she enjoys is a criminal world
A Bm
where the girls are like baby faced boys.
Repeat:
E-----4-----4--4----4-------4----|
B---2---2-4-------2---2---2---2--|
G-5-------------4-------3--------|
D--------------------------------|
A--------------------------------|
E--------------------------------|
Bm D
You`ve got a very heavy reputation,
F#m A
but no-one knows about your low life.
Bm D
I know a way to find a situation,
F#m A
and hold a candle to your high life disguise.
Bm D
You caught me kneeling at your sisters door,
F#m A
that was no ordinary stick up.
Bm D
I`m well aware just what you`re looking for.
F#m G
I am no ordinary; I am no ordinary.
Bm D F#m
Oh oh oh what a criminal world,
A Bm
the boys are like baby faced girls.
D F#m
What a criminal girl,
A Bm
She`ll show you how to shoot your gun. (gun gun)
D F#m
What a typical mothers son;
A Bm D F#m
the only thing that she enjoys is a criminal world
A Bm
Where the girls are like baby faced boys.
