Verse:
G Bm
Ziggy played guitar, jamming good
C D
with Wierd and Gilly and the Spiders from Mars.
G Em
He played it left hand, but made it too far
A7 C
became the special man, and we were Ziggy’s band.
G Bm
Ziggy really sang, with screwed up eyes and
C D
screwed down hairdo like some cat from Japan.
G Em
He could lick ’em by smiling, he could leave ’em to hang.
A7 C
He came on so loaded man, well hung and snow-white tan.
Chorus: Power chords
Am(V) G(III) F F * F F * F F * F
But where were the spiders,
Am(V) G(III) F F * F F * F F * F
while the fly tried to break our balls.
A(V) G(III) F F * F F * F F * F
Just the beer light to guide us.
D(V)
And so we bitched about his fans
E(VII)
and should we crush his sweet hands.
Intro x2
Verse:
G Bm
Ziggy played for time, jiving us that
C D
we were voodoo and the kids was just crass.
G Em
He was the nazz with God-given ass.
A7 C
He took it all too far but boy could he play guitar.
Chorus:
Am(V) G(III) F F * F F * F F * F
Making love with his ego,
Am(V) G(III) F F * F F * F F * F
Ziggy sucked up into his mind
Am(V) G(III) F F * F F * F F * F
Like a leper messiah.
D E
When the kids had killed the man I had to break up the band.
