[Verse 1]
G Bm
Ziggy played guitar, jamming good
C (barred, slide up) C# D
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, and we were Ziggy's band.
G Bm
Ziggy really sang, with screwed up eyes and
C (barred, slide up) C# D
screwed down hair-do like some cat from Ja-pan.
G Em
He could lick 'em by smiling, he could leave 'em to hang.
A C
He came on so loaded man, well hung and snow-white tan.
(So Where were the Spiders......)

A(Barred slide down) G F Fmaj/E
So where were the spi-ders,
G A G F Fmaj/E G
while the fly tried to break our balls.
A G F Fmaj/E
Just the beer light to guide us.
D (barre) E
And so we bitched about his fans and should we crush his sweet hands.

[Verse 2]
G Bm
Ziggy played for time, jiving us that
C (barred, slide up) C# D
we were voodoo and the kids were just crass.
G Em
He was the nazz with God-given ass.

He took it all too far but boy could he play guitar.

A (Barred slide down) G F Fmaj/E
Making love with his ego,
G A G F Fmaj/E G
Ziggy sucked up into his mind
A G F Fmaj/E
Like a leper messiah.
D (barre) E
When the kids had killed the man I had to break up the band.

Cadd9 G
Oh, Ziggy Played... Guit-ar....
(F7maj/E = Very Simple, when playing a Barred F chord,
simply lift your first finger off the chord
rhythmically, while holding down the 'E shape'
with your other fingers, in an up/down rhythm,
as you hear in the song)
