Breaking Glass

David Bowie

(written by David Bowie, produced by David Bowie and Tony Visconti)

Another tune from the excellent Bowie album "Low", this short but
sweet song consists of two basic guitar riffs.  There are of course a
number of Eno sonic treatments not easily transcribed.  Carlos Alomar
does not repeat the riffs exactly each time through, but the basics
are here.  Have a listen to the recording to get a feel for the song.
The tab written here is merely a guide to get started in the right
direction with the lead guitar.
