She's Got Medals
Lyrics and music by
David Bowie
F C G D A
F C G D A
She'd walk through the door and she'd set up the drinks on the house
F C
She played a good game of darts,
G D A
and the men slapped her back, never took her out.
Bm F# Bm E A E
She wore a trenchcoat khaki, her hobnail boots were full of holes
E* A* E7*
She's got medals
F C G D A
F C G D A
Her mother called her Mary but she changed her name to Tommy, she's a one
F C G D A
She went and joined the army, passed the medical, don't ask me how it's done
Bm F# Bm E A E
They sent her to the front line, fighting for her country's name
E* A* E7*
She's got medals
B* G
She got very tired of picking up girls,
C* F*
Cleaning her gun, and shaving her curls
Bb* D#* C* F C G D A
Then the enemy dropped a bomb, survivors there were none
F C G D A
People say that when the moon is full and when the stars have gone to bed
F C G D A
You can see a ghost but that's a lie because the naughty woman isn't dead
Bm F#
She deserted on the previous morning,
Bm E A E
replaced her uniform with dresses silk and green
E* A* E* E* A* E* E* A* E*
Called herself Eileen, came to London town, now she's settled down
E* A* E7*
She's got medals
F C G D A F C G D A
* = strike ones
