How Does The Grass Grow Chords & Lyrics - David Bowie

[A] [G#] [G] [F#] [F]

[Bbm]Theres a graveyard by the st[G#]ation
Where the girls w[F#]ear nylon skirts and
[F#]Sandals from Hungary
[Bbm]The boys ride their Riga 1s
[G#]Upon the little hill
[F#]Such sadness and grief
[F#]The trees die standing
[Bbm]Thats where we made our trysts
And st[G#]ruggled with our guns
[F#]Would you still love me
[F#]If the clocks could go backwards
[Bbm]The girls would fill with blood and
[G#]The grass would be green again
[F#]Remember the dead
[F#]They were so great some of them

[F#]Ya ya ya [G#]ya ya ya ya [Bbm]ya ya ya
[F#]Ya ya ya [G#]ya ya ya
[Bbm]How does the grass grow
Blood blood blood

[F#]Ya ya ya [G#]ya ya ya ya [Bbm]ya ya ya
[F#]Ya ya ya [G#]ya ya ya
[Bbm]How does the grass grow
Blood blood blood

[Bb] [G#] [F#]

[Bbm]But I lived a blind life
[G#]A white face in prison
[F#]But you made a life out of nothing
[F#]Now I ride my black horse
[Bbm]I miss you more
[G#]Than youll ever ever know
[F#]Waiting with my red eyes
[F#]And my stone heart

[F#]Ya ya ya [G#]ya ya ya ya [Bbm]ya ya ya
[F#]Ya ya ya [G#]ya ya ya
[Bbm]How does the grass grow
Blood blood blood

[F#]Ya ya ya [G#]ya ya ya ya [Bbm]ya ya ya
[F#]Ya ya ya [G#]ya ya ya
[Bbm]Where do the boys lie
Mud mud mud
[Bbm]How does the grass grow
Blood blood blood

[E]I gaze in defeat[G]
[D]At the stars in the night
[E]The light in my l[G]ife burnt a[D]way
[E] [G] +
There will be no tomorrow
[F#]Then you sigh [F]in your sleep
[A]And meaning r[E]eturns with the[D] day

[F#] [G#] [Bb]

[F#]Ya ya ya [G#]ya ya ya ya [Bbm]ya ya ya
[F#]Ya ya ya [G#]ya ya ya
[Bbm]Where do the boys lie
Mud mud mud
[Bbm]How does the grass grow
Blood blood blood
