[ Предположительная тональность: F ] Song: Even a fool learns to love Artist: David Bowie English Lyrics: David Bowie Music: Claude Francois & Jacques Revaux Tabbed by DJ 5th Jun 2015 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 at this link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/profiles/ 5cSdD53NknkB4nWXRKCWwd4/the-origins-of-my-way 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 F, and the second tab in Frank Sinatra's recorded key of D. N.B. As I haven't heard the full demo, I've done my best to guess how the chords and lyrics might have scanned. **************************************************************** The demo version which Bowie overdubbed at his own home over Claude Francois's 'Comme d'habitude' recording.
