G D Ds4C9
INTRO: - - - x4
G Bm C D
Now Ziggy played guitar, jamming good with Weird and Gilly and the Spiders from Mars
G Em
He played it left hand but made it too far
A C
became the special man then we were Ziggy's Band
G Bm C
Ziggy really sang, screwed up eyes and screwed down hairdo
D G Em
like some cat from Japan, he could lick 'em by smiling, he could leave 'em to hang
A C
Came on so loaded man, well hung and snow white tan
Am G F G Am G F G
So where were the Spiders - - while the rats tried to break our balls
Am G F
Just the beer light to guide us
D E
So we bitched about his fans and should we crush his sweet hands
G D Ds4C9
- - - x4
G Bm C D
Ziggy played for time, jibing us that we were voodoo, the kids were just crass
G Em
He was the nazz with God given ass
A C
He took it all to far but boy could he play guitar
Am G F G Am G F G Am G F
Making love with his ego, Ziggy sucked up into his mind, like a leper messiah
D E
When the kids had killed the man, I had to break up the band oooh
G D Ds4C9
- - - x2
G D Ds4 C9 G D Ds4
Oh yeah, Oooo oooo
C9 G
Now Ziggy played Guitaaaaaaaaaar
C9 Riff = 032033, 020033, 000033. This creates an easy transition into
and from the surrounding chords. Some of the chords are accented by lifting
fingers off but this is as close as I could get. The original is a half
step down from this version but I find it easier to play like this.
Comment, correction and/or rating is appreciated. Enjoy!
