David Bowie Queen Bitch Lyrics

I saw the other tabs for this when trying to learn it & realised they are horribly wrong!!!
This is the 100% correct tab for this song, as:
1. Im a HUGE Bowie fan.
2. Im sure it's right.
3. I've seen him play the song after coming up with this & i am right.
Gx is an odd variation of G.
David Bowie played this on a 12-string acoustic, but will sound similar on a normal, not
exact though.
C/G: C/Gm:
Fmaj7: Fmaj7m:
Gx:
The intro therefore goes:
& repeat.
(slide on the way through)
C/G Gx Fmaj7 C/G Gx Fmaj7
Repeat the intro 4 times, electric guitar kicks in after 2 repetitions.
Then it's as follows:
-strumming-
C/G C/Gm (let go with the middle finger softly)
I'm up on the eleventh floor
And I'm watching the cruisers below
m
My heart's in the basement
My weekend's at an all time low
m
He's down on the street
And he's trying hard to pull sister Flo
m
'Cause she's hoping to score
So I can't see her letting him go
Walk out of her heart
Walk out of her mind
(CHORUS)
She's so swishy in her satin and tat
In her frock coat and bipperty-bopperty hat
B (no strum)
Oh God, I could do better than that
Riff x 4
m
She's an old-time ambassador
Of sweet talking, night walking games
m
And she's known in the darkest clubs
For pushing ahead of the dames
m
If she says she can do it then she can do it,
she don't make false claims
m
But she's a Queen, and such are queens
That your laughter is sucked in their brains
Now she's leading him on
And she'll lay him right down
But it could have been me Yes, it could have been me
Why didn't I say,
why didn't I say, no, no, no
(CHORUS)
m
So I lay down a while And I gaze at my hotel wall
Oh the cot is so cold It don't feel like no bed at all
m
Yeah I lay down a while And I gaze at my hotel wall
But he's down on the street So I throw both his bags down the hall
And I'm phoning a cab
'Cause my stomach feels small
There's a taste in my mouth And it's no taste at all
It could have been me Oh yeah, it could have been me
Why didn't I say,
Why didn't I say, no, no, no
(CHORUS)
Repeat Riff until you end with a hard upstroke.
