| G   D| Cadd9   G/B   G/A| x4
[Verse 1]
GNow Ziggy played guitar,
BmJamming good with Weird and CGilly,
And the SpiBders Cfrom DMars.
He played it left hand,G  
But made it too far.Em  
Became the specAial man,
Then we were CZiggy's band.
[Verse 2]
GZiggy really sang,
Bmscrewed up eyes and screwed down Chairdo,
like some cat Bfrom CJaDpan.
He could lick 'em by smiliGng,
he could leave them to hEmang.
They came on so Aloaded, man,
well hung, Csnow white tan....
[Chorus]
AmSo wG5here were the spF5iders,G5  Am  
While the G5fly tried to break F5our balls?G5  Am  
Just the beeG5r light to guF5ide us,

Dand should we Ecrush his sweet hands?

GZiggy played for time,
BmJiving us that we were vooCdoo.

With God given Emass.
He took it Aall too far,
But, boy, Could he Cplay guitar!
