The Man Who Sold the World Guitar Tablature
Every chord here is exactly right. This is an awesome song originally written by David Bowie.  To make it sound right tune your guitar down to an E flat. Listen for strumming.

Intro:
F/Dm

                       A
We passed upon the stair
                      Dm
We spoke of was and when
              A     A7
Although I wasn't there
                      F
He said i was his friend
                      C
Which came as a suprise
                   A7
I spoke into his eyes
                      Dm
I thought you died alone
                   C
A long long time ago

            F
Oh no, not me
D flat augmented 7   A7
We never lost control
         C        F
You're face to face
      D flat augmented 7      A7
With the man who sold the world

Dm/F/Dm
             
                          A
I laughed and shook his hand
                       Dm
And made my way back home
                           A
I searched for form and land
                           F
For years and years I roamed
                     C
I gazed a gazely stare
                     A7
With multimillionaires
                    Dm
I must have died alone
                  C
A long long time ago

(x2)
C
Who knows?
     F
Not me
D flat augmented 7   F
We never lost control
          C       F
You're face to face
       D flat augmented 7     A7
With the man who sold the world
