Rubber Band Lyrics

David Bowie - Rubber Band
Intro is played on a tuba.
Rubber Band
There's a rubber band that plays tunes out of tune
In the library garden Sunday afternoon
While a little chappie waves a golden wand
Rubber Band
In 1910 I was so handsome and so strong
My moustache was stiffly waxed and one foot long
And I loved a girl while you played teatime tunes
Dear Rubber Band, you're playing my tune out of tune
oh
Rubber Band
Won't you play a haunting theme again to me
While I eat my scones and drink my cup of tea
The sun is warm but it's a lonely afternoon
Solo chords:
Trumpet solo: (instead of the bracketed note
Repeat: play this for the last time.)
*The next verse has only tuba and drums.
Don't play the major chord, these are just
the bass notes played by the tuba:*
Rubber Band
How I wish that I could join your Rubber Band
We could play in lively parks throughout the land
D B (Riff below)
And one Sunday afternoon, I'd find my love
*when he says "love", play this:*
*the next part is kind of tricky, this is the best way
you can play all the instruments being playing at once.
The numbers on top of the chords indicate the rhythm in
which the chords are played,*
C#m riff: A riff: F#7/Ab riff:
C#m riff
Rubber Band,
A riff twice
In the '14-'18 war I went to sea
F#7/Ab riff twice
Thought my Sunday love was waiting home for me
And now she's married to the leader of the band
Final riff:
Repeat this:
Last time:
Its pretty complicated, but you'll get it. HY.
