previous postings.

The Mott the Hoople version from 1972 was recorded in  major. Bowie's 
studio version from 1973 (now available on RarestOneBowie) is in between  
and  major (I think), probably because of the playback speed. I'm not sure 
about available live recordings by either artists. The lyrics between the 
two studio versions vary slightly - Bowie's lyrics are used here; however, I 
chose to write the music in  major rather than get involved with the  
major/ major deal.

In  major:

scale down to . The beginning of each measure gets one note. 

Billy rapped all night about his suicide, how he

kick it in the head when he was twenty-five.

Don't wanna stay alive when your twenty five.

Now Lucy's looking sweet, though he dresses like a queen, he can
kick like a mule, its a real mean team.
We can love, we can love.
And my brother's back at home with his Beatles and his Stones we

What a drag - too many snags.

Ok, here we go. This is my first post, so deep breaths. This is quite
tricky to play in parts. It's based on the 'David Live' version - as
I don't have a copy of Mott the Hopple! Have fun. Comments corrections
etc, mail me.
