Bring Me The Disco King Lohner Tab

by David Bowie


I can only tab the chords because I only play piano but I was shocked this song has
never been submitted.  It's too cool a song.  This is the song as it appears on the
Underworld Soundtrack NOT the Reality album (because I think it's a better version). 
Don't try and play along with the Reality version, as it's different instrumentation. 
Also, bear with me, it's my first submission, and some chords may not be exact. 

-Andrew

NOTE: in this tab, a slash with a note next to it means play the same chord but change
the bass note.  So if you see Fm7, then later, /Db, then that's short hand for
Fm7/Db...sorry if that's confusing.



BRING ME THE DISCO KING
Words and original music by David Bowie
Remixed by Danny Lohner

INTRO:  Fm7 (add 4)
...(*Guitar, strum between 8 and 11 on your high-E...but that's all the help I
can give you!)

                   
  You promised me the ending would be clear
                          
  You'd let me know when the time was now
                              
  Don't let me know when you're opening the door
                            /
  Stab me in the dark, let me disappear

Memories that flutter like bats out of hell
Stab you from the city spires
Life wasn't worth the balance
Or the crumpled paper it was written on

Fm7sus4                      /
  Don't let me know we're invisible
/                           /
  Don't let me know we're invisible

Hot cash days that you trailed around
Cold, cold nights under chrome and glass
Led me down a river of perfume limbs
Sent me to the streets with the good time girls

Don't let me know we're invisible
Don't let me know we're invisible

                                      /
We could dance, dance, dance through the fire
/				
Dance, dance, dance through the fire

           
  Feed me no lies
        
I don't know about you, I don't know about you

                  
  Breathe through the years
        
I don't know about you, I don't know about you

             
  Bring me the disco king
        
I don't know about you, I don't know about you

                        
  Dead or alive,   Feed me no lies


  Bring me the disco king
  Bring me the disco king
  Bring me the disco king
  Bring me the head of the disco king

Repeat INTRO  (Fm7)
*except this time play the chords that appear in the "dance, dance, dance" section with less intensity

Spin offs with those who slept like corpses
Damp morning rays in the stiff back clubs
Killing time in the 70s
Smelling of love through the moist wind

Don't let me know when you're opening the door
Close me in the dark let me disappear
Soon there'll be nothing left of me
Nothing left to release

Dance, dance, dance through the fire
Dance, dance, dance through the fire

Feed me no lies
I don't know about you, I don't know about you

Breathe through the years
I don't know about you, I don't know about you

Bring me the disco king
I don't know about you, I don't know about you

                    
  Breathe through the years
         
  Dead or alive
              
  Bring me the disco king


Bring me the disco king, Bring me the disco king

Bring me the disco king, Bring me the disco king

Bring me the disco king, Bring me the disco king
N..
Bring me the disco king
