Loving the alien
by David Bowie from A Reality Tour DVD
Capo on the first fret
[Intro riff] is repeated throughout the verses with a separate delay
[Intro riff] [Riff 2 Pre-chorus]
Watching them come and go
The templars and the Saracens
They're traveling the holy land
Opening telegrams
Torture comes and torture goes
Knights who'd give you anything
They bear the cross of coeur de lion
Salvation for the mirror blind
But if you pray all your sins are hooked upon the sky
[riff 2]
Pray and the heathen lie will disappear
Prayers they hide the saddest view
Believing the strangest things, loving the alien
And your prayers they break the sky in two
Believing the strangest things, loving the alien
Thinking of a different time
Palestine a modern problem
Bounty and your wealth in land
Terror in a best laid plan
Watching them come and go
Tomorrows and the yesterdays
Christians and the unbelievers
Hanging by the cross and nail
But if you pray all your sins are hooked upon the sky
[riff 2]
Pray and the heathen lie will disappear
Prayers they hide the saddest view
Believing the strangest things, loving the alien
And your prayers they break the sky in two
Believing the strangest things, loving the alien
You'll pray till the break of Dawn
Believing the strangest things, loving the alien
And you'll believe you're loving the alien
Believing the strangest things, loving the alien
Believeing the strangest things loving the alien
*the way Gerry Leonard play the and 's is to move the chord shape up
e
= 6 5 0 0 6 6
= 7 6 0 0 7 7
those chords are named relative the the capo being on the 1st fret.
remember there are many many ways to play these chords, but ive studied
the DVD and am almost sure this is pretty correct. thanks. Cristoff-
