Ooh, how I sighed when they asked if I knew his name
Correction by Mark
Lady Stardust - its a more sophisticated song than the others ...
A |C# |F#m |D |
A |F#m |E |Ddim - not C sharp
Theres also something funny about your interpretation of the "awful nice" bit
- its a simple Em descending sequence not Em to Em7 - I'm won't work out what
the full chord names are for they will all be E's
