Life on Mars by David Bowie Guitar Lesson

There is no definitive guitar version of this song because it was originally written for piano. This version is pieced together from many different sources and is one of the most thorough you will find on the internet. I have worked it in the key of D to maintain a good balance of playablilty. For the original key of F put a capo on the third fret
