My Death

Ok. Am I crazy or what. There is this song on David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust : The Movie (live) called My Death, it is a cover of a Jacques Brel song apparently. It is the coolest acoustic song, yet I can find it nowhere in netland. I have tried to tab it myself, but I am just a beginner and I fear that it is being played in some wierd tuning (very minor-gothic sound). If you haven't heard this song, check it out, its worth the price of the cassette itself. I will include here the lyrics so that someone may be inspired to help me out. MY DEATH -- David Bowie ----------------------- My Death waits like and older wine So confident I'll go his way Whistles ahead and the passing time My Death waits like a beggar blind Who sees the world through an unlit mind Throw him a dime for the passing time My Death waits there between your thighs Your cool fingers will close my eyes Let's pick lilacs for the passing time.... But whatever lies behind the door There is nothing much to do Angel or Devil I don't care For in front of that door there is you My Death waits there among the flowers Where the blackest shadow blackest shadow cowers Let's not think about the passing time My Death waits there in a double bed Sailors of oblivion at my head So pull up the sheets against the passing time....
