Its No Game

"It's No Game", from David Bowie's Scary Monsters and Super Creeps album

Verse chords (with example verse)

Silhouettes and shadows watch the revolution

No more three steps to heaven

Chorus chords (and lyrics are the same everytime):

And it's no game, (ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo)

And then consider this whole part the bridge,

which is identical in both versions, so I won't rewrite the lyrics

Documentaries on refugees, Couples 'gainst their targets

Throw a rock against the road and it breaks into pieces

Draw the blinds on yesterday and it's all so much scarier

Put a bullet in my brain and it makes all the papers

 

And it's no game, (ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo)

There we go. now the lyrics:

Part 1

(verse chords)

Shimeto ya kage ga ka ku mei o miteiru

Mo tengoku no giu no kai dan wa nai

Silhouettes and shadows watch the revolution

No more three steps to heaven

(chorus)

(verse)

Ore genjitsu kara shime dasare

Nani ga okkote iru ka wakara nai

I am barred from the event

I really don't understand the situation

(chorus)

(verse)

Doko ni kyokun wa aruka

Hitobito wa yabi ooraneteiru

Konna dokusaisha ni igashime rareru nowa kanashi

(chorus)

(bridge)

(verse)

Nammino kiroku eiga

Hioteki o se ni shita kiobi to tach

Michi ni ishi o nage reba

Konago na ni kudake

Kimo ni nutao sureba

Kyo hu wa maso

Ore no atama ni tama o buchi kome ba

Shinbun wa kaki tateru

So where's the moral

People have their fingers broken

To be insulted by these fascists-it's so degrading

And it's no game (ooo-ooo)

(Shut up!...shut up!)

Part 2

(verse)

Silhouettes and shadows watch the revolution

No more three steps to heaven

Just walky-talky - heaven or hearth

Just big heads and drums - full speed and pagan

(chorus)

(verse)

I am barred from the event

I really don't understand the situation

So where's the moral, people have their fingers broken

To be insulted by these fascists-it's so degrading

(chorus)

(bridge)

(verse)

Children 'round the world

Put camel shit on the wall

Making carpets on treadmills

Or garbage sorting

And it's no game (ooo-ooo)
