The Width of A Circle
Album:The Man Who Sold The World (1970)
Lyrics & Music by David Bowie
Here is one of the best Bowie songs there is. The song was transcribed
Listening to the live versions
From «David Live» and «Ziggy Stardust-The Motion Picture» but I think
It’s pretty much the same to the
Album version. If there is anyone interested in transcribing the
Solos, please let me know.
