Ballrooms Of Mars Acoustic Chords
Standard Tuning EADGBe
Really great song.
Verse 1:
C C/B Am
You gonna look fine, be primed for dancing
C C/B G
You're gonna trip and glide all on the trembling plane
C C/B Am D
Your diamond hands will be stacked with roses
C G C
And wind and cars and people of the past
Verse 2:
C C/B Am
I'll call you thing, just when the moon sings
C C/B G
And place your face in stone upon the hill of stars
C C/B Am D
And gripped in the arms of the changeless madman
C G C
We'll dance our lives away in the ballrooms of Mars
Verse 3:
C C/B Am
You talk about day, I'm talkin' 'bout night time
C C/B G
When the monsters call out the names of men
C C/B Am D
Bob Dylan knows and I bet Alan Freed did
C G C
There are things in night that are better not to behold
Verse 4:
C C/B Am
You dance with your lizard leather boots on
C C/B G
And pull the strings that change the faces of men
C C/B Am D
You diamond browed hag you're a glitter-gaunt gangster
C G C
John Lennon knows your name and I've seen his
"Rock!"
(Instrumental Break)
