In 1968, before he was really famous, David Bowie was employed
by publishers to write an English lyric to a French pop hit
called 'Comme d'habitude'. Bowie's submission was unsuccessful,
and the publishers used a lyric by Paul Anka instead,
his version was called 'My way'.
Three years later Bowie partly based his own hit 'Life on Mars' 
on a similar chord sequence.
More information, and the first verse of Bowies' demo recording

The demo first verse differs slightly from Bowie's typed lyrics,
for the tab I've gone with what he sang on the demo. 

I've included two tab versions: one in Claude Francois'
(and Bowie's demo) key of , and the second tab in
Frank Sinatra's recorded key of . 
N.. As I haven't heard the full demo, I've done my best to
guess how the chords and lyrics might have scanned.

****************************************************************

There was a time, a happy time,
I took my heart ...to every party,
        They'd point my way, "How are you to - day?"
"Will you make us laugh, chase our blues a - way?"
Their funny man     ....won't let them down,
No, I'd dance and prance, and be their clown,

The clown   ...turned a - round,
And saw her smile,   ...oh, how she loved me,
She'd clap her hands, and beg me stay,
To make her laugh, to make her life gay,
Who wants the love      ...of all the world,
When here was love in the eyes of just one girl?

But, oh, how I dreamed,       a marvelous dream,
Where all of the heavens, or so it had seemed,
With thunderous ap - plause, looked down from a - bove,
On a clown and an angel so much in love,
I'll stay with my dream, it takes such a dream,

That day, ...that hateful day,
The joke turned stale,  ...the game was over,
Those spiteful words, "Oh, go a - way!
Who wants to play?  It's getting late now!"
 My world,     ...my funny world,
Had lost its mask, and shown a broken heart,

But, oh, how I dreamed,       a marvelous dream,
Where all of the heavens, or so it had seemed,
With thunderous ap - plause, looked down from a - bove,
On a clown and an angel so much in love,
I'll stay with my dream, it takes such a dream,

[Coda]
