?: This tab is based on Declan McKenna's cover of David Bowie's "Valentine's Day" performed
on 14 February 2018 in Charlottesville, PA. The chords and lyrics differ from Bowie's studio
recorded version of the song.
?: The chords are based on the chords Declan plays on his acoustic guitar during the performance;
the piano part does have transitional chords (as the guitar plays in Bowie's studio version)
though they aren't tabbed here (though you can get that version by searching for tabs of Bowie's
orignial song).
