Ziggy Stardust, by David Bowie, Tabbed by Mark Willett
[Intro]
| G D | Cadd9 G/B G/A | x4
[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]
| G D | Cadd9 G/B G/A | x2
[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!
[Interlude]
| G D | Cadd9 G/B G/A | x2
[Outro]
G D Cadd9 G/B G/A G
Yeah... ooo....
D Cadd9 G
ZIGGY PLAYED GUITAR!
