NOTES:
1. ??Interviewed in 1987 and asked to compare a track like "Time Will Crawl" to "Blue Jean," Bowie said
"'Blue Jean' is a piece of sexist rock 'n roll. laughs It's about picking up birds. It's not very
cerebral, that piece. ??
2. ??A basic workout in D major (the slight tension in the early bars of each verse is owed to a wavering
between D and a D suspended fourth), ?Blue Jean??s Chorus moves between the dominant,
A major, and the mediant, F# minor?so the song is mainly keeping to the basic tones of the D chord
(D F#, A); there are no real surprises except swapping in a natural C (on ?police bike?) for a sharp one.
Two verses, three Choruses, no bridges or solos save a four-bar Alomar riffing transition. ?Blue Jean?
ends just when you get sick of it. ??
3. In keeping with Carlos Alomar's textured guitar style, experiment in the VERSES with
variations of D and G, with alternating D with Dadd4 (XX0030)and G with Em7 (020003 or 020033).
Also, try in the Pre-Chorus, alternating the C with C/E (XX2010).
