Song title:       Oh, You Pretty Things
Original Album:	  Hunky Dory

Words and Music by David Bowie
Copyright © 1971 RCA Records
Published by Sony Music Entertainment

Transcribed by Gavin Chart (contactus@gartfrets.net)


NOTES:
The song is played on piano and has a piano break after the first verse and
a piano coda, which I haven't bothered to transcribe. For a solo acoustic
guitar, you could either skip these and end on the final CHORUS or invent
an alternative.

The first chord is F#, so capo on 1 to keep it simple.
Chords are relative to the capo position.

Put another log on the fire for me, I've made some breakfast and coffee
F                        C
I look out my window and what do I see? 
  A7                     Dm            Dm/C    Bb
A crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me

All the nightmares came today
                               F
And it looks as though they're here to stay

  I think about a world to come where the books were found by the Golden Ones

Written in pain, written in awe
     A7              Dm         Dm/C         Bb
By a puzzled man who questioned what we were here for
