[Verse 1]

G
 Now Ziggy played guitar,
Bm                            C
  Jamming good with Weird and Gilly,
           B    C    D
And the Spiders from Mars.
                       G
He played it left hand,
                    Em
But made it too far.
               A
Became the special man,
             C
Then we were Ziggy's band.


[Verse 2]

G
Ziggy really sang,
Bm                               C
screwed up eyes and screwed down hairdo,
              B    C D
like some cat from Japan.
                          G
He could lick 'em by smiling,
                        Em
he could leave them to hang.
                A
They came on so loaded, man,
           C
well hung, snow white tan....


[Chorus]

Am    G5              F5       G5 Am
  So where were the spiders,
          G5                F5         G5 Am
While the fly tried to break our balls?
            G5           F5
Just the beer light to guide us,
   G5 D                 Dsus2
so we bitched about his fans
D             E
and should we crush his sweet hands?


[Interlude]

[Verse 3]

G
Ziggy played for time,
Bm                        C
Jiving us that we were voodoo.
         B    C    D
The kids were just crass,
           G
He was the nazz,
               Em
With God given ass.
           A
He took it all too far,
                   C
But, boy, Could he play guitar!


[Chorus 2]

Am     G5             F5       G5 Am
Making love with his ego,
      G5          F5           G5 Am
Ziggy sucked up into his mind,
       G5        F5
Like a leper Messiah,
     G5  D                 Dsus2
When the kids had killed the man
D        E
I had to break up the band!

[Outro]

G     D     Cadd9 G/B G/A G
Yeah...               ooo....
D     Cadd9                  G
            ZIGGY PLAYED GUITAR!
