<< Back to David Bowie Song List

Version 1

            [Intro]
D  C  G C D  x3

[Verse 1]
        D                F#m               G
Oh my love, Janine, I'm helpless for your smile
E              E7         A          G                D
Like a Polish wanderer I travel ever onwards to your land
             A                G                    F#m
And were it not just for the jewels I'd close your hand

[Verse 2]
      D                F#m            G
Your strange demand to 'collocate' my mind
E              E7                 A
Scares me into gloom, you're too intense
             G                D
I'll have to keep you in your place
          A                  G                  F#m
I've no defence, I've got to keep my veil on my face

[Chorus]
 D       D/C           G        C      G
Janine, Janine, you'd like to know me well
      C               G                  F             C
But I've got things inside my head that even I can't face
  D      D/C           G       C         G
Janine, Janine, you'd like to crash my walls
     C               G
But if you take an axe to me
       F            C
you'll kill another man
           D   C   G C D   D  C  G C D
Not me at all

[Verse 3]
       D              F#m            G
You're fey, Janine, a tripper to the last
E                  E7             A
But if I catch you standing on my toes
            G                  D
I'll have a right to shout you down
             A               G                       F#m
For you're a lazy stream, in which my thoughts would drown

[Verse 4]
   D             F#m              G
So stay, Janine, and we can glide along
E                          E7
I've caught your wings for laughs
        A                    G                 D
I'm not obliged to read your statements of the year
             A               G            F#m
So take your glasses off and don't act so sincere

[Chorus]
 D       D/C           G        C      G
Janine, Janine, you'd like to know me well
      C               G                  F             C
But I've got things inside my head that even I can't face
  D      D/C           G       C         G
Janine, Janine, you'd like to crash my walls
     C               G
But if you take an axe to me
       F            C
you'll kill another man
           D   C   G C D   D  C  G C D
Not me at all

D  C  G C D (repeat and ad lib)
