Join The Gang

Lyrics and music by David Bowie

 

E
Let me introduce you to the gang
E
Johnny plays the sitar, he's an existentialist
E
Once he had a name, now he plays our game
E
You won't feel so good now that you've joined the gang


G
Molly is the model in the ads

Crazy clothes and acid full of soul and crazy hip
                         F
Someone switched her on, then her beam went wrong
G                                         F          G
Cause she can't switch off now that she's joined the gang


A
Arthur is a singer with a band

Arthur drinks two bottles just before he goes on stage
                     G
Look at Arthur rave, all the kids are paid
    A                                 G          A
They want to see the croaking man who joined the gang


A                         G
You won't be alone, we've all got beery grins
Eb                         D            A
It's a big illusion but at least you're in
   G            A
At least you're in


G
This club's called The Webb, it's this month's pick

Next month we shall find a place where prices aren't so
stiff
                F
15 bob a coke, 'fraid that's past a joke
G                                    F          G
This is how to spend now that you've joined the gang


A
This is what to do now that you're here

Sit round doing nothing all together very fast
                   G
Psychedelic stars, throwing down cigars
        A                                      G
They're picking up the joints now that they've joined
    A
the gang

E
