It is probably, in my opinion, One of the greatest David Bowie songs. It is off of -Space Oddity- and Quite a track coming in at over nine minutes. It is quite a piece moving Through so many key changes and other things. Those are things Characteristic of -Space Oddity-, figuring out songs off that album is Quite difficult. I was quite frustrated trying to get some of it but now That I got all of it, I am quite proud and happy I did it. I am typing This on a word processor program that does not show any quotation or Apostrophe marks. So to not cause any confusion on the lyrics, I will Use a ~ for an apostrophe and ~~ for both open and closed quotation marks. I took the lyrics right off of the album and even capitalized a lot of Things that were capitalized on the album sleeve. I hope you enjoy this, (it took me a really strenuous long time to do but I did enjoy doing it Anyway): THE CYGNET COMMITTEE by David Bowie D D/C I bless you madly Bm Bb D Sadly as I tie my shoe D/C I love you badly Bm Bb D D/C Just in time, at times, I guess Bm Bb D D/C Because of you I need to rest Bm Bb D Because it~s you that sets the test Eb Bbm So much has gone and little is new Bbm A And as the sparrow sings F# Dawn chorus for Bbm Someone else to hear Bbm A The thinker sits alone F# Bbm Growing older And so bitter F Bbm ~~I gave Them life, I gave Them all C Fm They drained my very soul...dry F Bbm I crushed my heart to ease Their pains C Fm Ab No thought for me remains there Bbm Db Nothing can they spare C What of me?

Am F And the road is coming to its end G C Now the damned have not time to make amends Am F No purse of token fortunes stands in Our way G C The silent guns of love will blast the sky Am F We broke the ruptured structure build of age G C Our weapons were tongues of crying rage Am F Where money stood we planted seeds of rebirth G C And stabbed the backs of fathers, sons of dirt Am Infiltrated business cesspools F Hating through Our sleeves G Yea, and We slit the Catholic throat C Stoned the poor on slogans as: -Wish You Could Hear- Am -Love Is All We Need- -Kick Out The Jams- -Kick Out Your Mother- F -Cut Up Your Friend- G -Screw Up Your Brother or He~ll Get You In the End- C Am And We Know the Flag of Love is from Above F And We Can Force You to Be Free G C And We Can Force You to Believe.~~ Am And I close my eyes and tighten up my brain F For I once read a book in which the lovers were slain G For they Knew not the words of the Free States~ refrain, It said: C ~~I Believe in the Power of Good Am I Believe in the State of Love F I Will Fight For the Right to be Right G C I Will Kill for the Good of the Fight for the Right to be Right.~~ Am F And I open my eyes to look around G And I see a child laid slain on the ground C Am As a love machine lumbers through desolation rows F G Ploughing down man, woman, listening to its command C But not hearing anymore- Am F Not hearing anymore G Just the shrieks from the old rich C And I Want to Believe G In the madness that calls ~Now~ C And I Want to Believe G That a light is shining through somehow Bb And I Want to Believe F And You Want to Believe C And We Want to Believe G And We Want to Live Ab Oh, We Want to Live Bb We Want to Live C We Want to Live (marching-type beat configuration appears) G We Want to Live Ab We Want to Live Bb We Want To Live C I Want to Live G I Want to Live Ab I Want to Live Bb I Want to Live C I Want to Live G I Want to Live Ab Live Bb Live C Live (it continues with the G-Ab-Bb-C chords until it fades) The Chords Used Are: E A D G B E ----------- D x x 0 2 3 x D/C x 3 x 2 3 x Bm x 2 4 4 3 2 Bb x 1 3 3 3 x Eb x 6 5 3 4 3 Bbm x 1 3 3 2 1 A x 0 2 2 2 0 F# 2 4 4 3 2 2 F 1 3 3 2 1 1 C x 3 2 0 1 0 Fm 1 3 3 1 1 1 Ab 4 6 6 5 4 4 Db x 4 6 6 6 x Am x 0 2 2 1 0 G 3 2 0 0 0 3 Make sure to play the marching chords at the end in barre form.
