Lyrics and music by David Bowie
C D/C Cm7 D/C Bm/E Bm7/E Bm/E
D/E C/E D B+ Bm/E
Watching them come and go-
D Cmaj7
The Templars and the Saracens- They're traveling the Holy Land-
D6 B+ Bm/E
opening telegrams,-oh- Torture comes and torture goes-
D Cmaj7
Knights who'd give you anything- They bear the cross of Coeur De Lion
D6 B+
Salvation for the mirror blind,-oh-
Cm Bb Am Fm7
But if you pray- all your sins are hooked upon the sky-
Dm Am Fm7 G
Pray- and the heathen lie will disappear-
C D/C Cm7
Prayers---- they hide the saddest view- Believing the strangest things-
D/C
Loving the Alien.-
C D/C
And your prayers,----- they break the sky in two-
Cm7 D/C
Believing the strangest things.- Loving the Alien.-
Bm/E Bm7/E Bm/E D/E C/E
D B+
Bm/E
Thinking of a different time-
D Cmaj7
Palestine a modern problem- Bounty and your wealth in hand-
D6 B+
Terror is a best laid plan,- oh-
Bm/E D
Watching them come and go- Tomorrows and the yesterdays-
Cmaj7 D6 B+
Christians and the unbelievers- Hanging by the cross and nail,-oh-
Cm Bb Am Fm7
But if you pray- all your sins are hooked upon the sky-
Dm Am Fm7 G
Pray- and the heathen lie will disappear------------
C D/C
Prayers------------------they hide the saddest view-
Cm7 D/C
Believing the strangest things- Loving the Alien-
C D/C
And your prayers,----- they break the sky in two-
Cm7 D/C
Believing the strangest things- Loving the Alien.-
C D/C
You pray-------------------- till the break of dawn-
Cm7 D/C
Believing the strangest things- Loving the Alien-
C D/C
And you'll believe--------------- you're loving the Alien------------
Cm7 D/C
Believing the strangest things- Loving the Alien-
Bm/E Bm7/E Bm/E D/E C/E
D B+ Bm/E D Cmaj7
D6 B+/ B+ Em11.
