Ziggy played guitar, jamming good with Weird and Gilly, and the Spiders from

C G Bm
then we were Ziggy's band. Ziggy really sang, screwed up eyes and screwed
C D G
down hairdo like some cat from Japan, he could lick 'em by smiling He could
Em Am C
leave 'me to hang came on so loaded man, well hung and snow white tan.
[Chorus] Played in barre chords

Am G F Am G F
.....So where were the spiders while the fly tried to break our balls
Am G F D
Just the beer light to guide us, So we bitched about his fans and should
we
E
crush his sweet hands?
