David Bowie - God Knows I'm Good


INTRO:
	G   Cadd9    G    F/C  C	
	G   Cadd9    G    F/C  C	


VERSE 1:

      Am                  Am7/G         Bm7         A7
I was walking through the counters of a national concern
      F/C              C              G        Cadd9
And a cash machine was spitting by my shoulder
      Am           Am7/G          Bm7              A7
And I saw the multitude of faces, honest, rich and clean
       F/C              C              G        Cadd9
As the merchandise exchanged and money roared


      C              G           Am               Am7/G
And a woman hot with worry slyly slipped a tin of stewing steak
D/F#           C          G     Cadd9
Into the paper bag at her side
        C                   G                Am               
And her face was white with fear in case her actions
     Am7/G
Were observed
       D/F#               C                   G      Cadd9
So she closed her eyes to keep her conscience blind


CHORUS:

       Am            Am7/G    
Crying God knows I'm good 
D7/F#         F
God knows I'm good 
F             E
God knows I'm good
Am               C/G         E
God may look the other way today


Am            Am7/G
God knows I'm good
D7/F#         F
God knows I'm good
F             E
God knows I'm good
Am               C/G         E
God may look the other way today


VERSE 2:

         Am               Am7/G          Bm7            A7
Then she moved toward the exit clutching tightly at her paper bag
F/C          C                 G        Cadd9
Perspiration trickled down her forehead         
        Am               Am7/G           Bm7              A7
And her heart it leapt inside her as the hand laid on her shoulder
        F/C        C             G        Cadd9
She was led away bewildered and amazed


            C                 G                  Am               Am7/G
Through her deafened ears the cash machines were shrieking on the counter
       D/F#             C              G
As her escort asked her softly for her name
      C               G                Am               Am7/G
And a crowd of honest people rushed to help a tired old lady
        D/F#           C               G
Who had fainted to the whirling wooden floor


CHORUS:

       Am            Am7/G    
Crying God knows I'm good 
D7/F#         F
God knows I'm good 
F             E
God knows I'm good
Am               C/G            E
Surely God won't look the other way


Am            Am7/G
God knows I'm good
D7/F#         F
God knows I'm good
F             E
God knows I'm good
Am               C/G            E
Surely God won't look the other way


OUTRO:

G    Cadd9    G    F/C  C    (repeat to fade)
