Id Rather Be High Chords & Lyrics - David Bowie

[A] x4
[D] x2
[A] x2

[Bm]Nobokov is sun-licked now
[D]Upon the beach at Gruenwald
[Bm]Brilliant and naked just
The w[G]ay that authors looks

[A]

[Bm]Clare and Lady Manners drink
[D]Until the other cows go home
[Bm]Gossip till their lips are bleeding
[G]Politics and all

[A]

I'd rather be h[Em]igh [A]
[A]I'd rather be fl[Em]ying [A]
I'd rather be d[Dm]ead
Or out of my h[F#m]ead
Than training these g[Dm]uns on those men in the s[D]and
[D]I'd rather be high

[A]

The [Bm]Thames was black, the tower dark
[D]I flew to Cairo, find my regiment
[Bm]City's full of generals
And g[G]enerals full of shit

[A]

I [Bm]stumble to the graveyard and I
[D]Lay down by my parents, whisper
[Bm]Just remember duckies
[G]Everybody gets got

[A]

I'd rather be h[Em]igh [A]
I'd rather be f[Em]lying [A]
I'd rather be d[Dm]ead
Or out of my h[F#m]ead
Than training these g[Dm]uns of those men in the s[D]and
I'd rather be h[A]igh

I'm se[D]venteen and my looks can prove i[A]t
I'm s[D]o afraid that I will lose [A]it
I'd [E]rather smoke and phone my ex
Be p[C7]leading for some teenage sex
[A]Yeah

I'd rather be h[Em]igh [A]
I'd rather be fl[Em]ying [A]
I'd rather be d[Dm]ead
Or out of my h[F#m]ead
Than training these g[Dm]uns on the men in the s[D]and
I'd rather be h[A]igh
