Subject: MY DEATH by Jaques Brel/David Bowie.

	Ok. Am I crazy or what. There is this song on David Bowie's
Ziggy Stardust : The Movie (live) called My Death, it is a cover
of a Jacques Brel song apparently. It is the coolest acoustic song,
yet I can find it nowhere in netland. I have tried to tab it myself,
but I am just a beginner and I fear that it is being played in
some wierd tuning (very minor-gothic sound).

	If you haven't heard this song, check it out, its worth the
price of the cassette itself. I will include here the lyrics so that
someone may be inspired to help me out.

			MY DEATH -- David Bowie
			-----------------------

My Death waits like
	and older wine
So confident
	I'll go his way
Whistles ahead
	and the passing time

My Death waits like
	a beggar blind
Who sees the world
	through an unlit mind
Throw him a dime
	for the passing time

My Death waits there
	between your thighs
Your cool fingers
	will close my eyes
Let's pick lilacs for
	the passing time....

But whatever lies
	behind the door
There is nothing much to do
Angel or Devil
	I don't care
For in front of that door
	there is you

My Death waits there
	among the flowers
Where the blackest shadow
	blackest shadow cowers
Let's not think about
	the passing time

My Death waits there
	in a double bed
Sailors of oblivion
	at my head
So pull up the sheets against
	the passing time....
