please mail me. I have posted them because I can't really agree with the
previous postings.

The Mott the Hoople version from 1972 was recorded in D major. Bowie's
studio version from 1973 (now available on RarestOneBowie) is in between C
and B major (I think), probably because of the playback speed. I'm not sure
about available live recordings by either artists. The lyrics between the
two studio versions vary slightly - Bowie's lyrics are used here; however, I
chose to write the music in D major rather than get involved with the C
major/B major deal.

In D major:

The first four measures of the verse contain an ascending D major
scale down to A. The beginning of each measure gets one note.

Ok, here we go. This is my first post, so deep breaths. This is quite
tricky to play in parts. It's based on the 'David Live' version - as
I don't have a copy of Mott the Hopple! Have fun. Comments corrections
etc, mail me.
