From the Heavens

Another bluesy rock song..

News had just come through of Bowie's death as I was writing this, so it ended up as another 'in memoriam'... and developed accordingly - the break sections hark back to Hunky Dory. (Well, if he could write songs about Dylan and Warhol then, I can write aout him now!)

words and music by Martin Stirrup 2018

ROR 11 You came from the heavens

Am G
You came from the heavens alien and strange
Am G E7
You came from the heavens harbinger of change
F C G C Am E7
Made virtue of uncertainty never twice the same

You came from the heavens Shook us to the core
You came from the heavens powerful and raw
Knowledge gained through failure beauty in the flaw

You came from the heavens made us re-assess
You came from the heavens balance to redress
Widened our horizons liberated the repressed

F C
They say that if you wear a mask
Bb F
Inhibitions can be freed
F C
Gain the confidence at last
Dm E7
To be what you want to be

You came from the heavens opened up our eyes
You came from the heavens truth in disguise
Individuality is bound to arise

You came from the heavens burning fast
You came from the heavens to erase the past
Nothing lasts forever change can be a blast
