My guitar teacher left me after teaching me the first chords to this
Song. Please someone won’t you get me out of this jam. THANKS in
Advance!
Below are two previously posted versions: one in Am, one in Em.
Myself, I play it in Em as I believe Mr. Ronson does on the original recording.
I personally tend to favor the second version, but thanks go out to the
Original posters of both 🙂

David Bowie / Andy Warhol

HOOK: this distinctive hook appears several times in the song, and
It’s not that hard, so give it a shot. The acoustic run ascends from
Low A to middle A, descends to middle F, holds, and then runs back
Down to low A. If this creeps you out, just play the chords: they’re
Easy.

Seventies delay effect. Laugh.)

CHORUS
G C Dm Am Dm Am C G
Andy Warhol, looks a scream, hang him on my wa-a-a-all
G C Dm Am Dm Am C / G / D / / /
Andy Warhol, silver screen, can’t tell them apart at a-a-a-a-all.
Am F
Andy walking, Andy tired, Andy take a little snooze,
Dm F Dm Am(HOOK)
Tie him up when he fast asleep, send him on a pleasure cruise.

When he wake up, on the beach, be sure to think of me and you.

To think about paint and to think about glue
F Dm Am
What a jolly boring thing to do.

You can play it in Am as it was written in the previous article, but I’m pretty
Sure that the original is in Em .
I would use the following chords:
