G                         Bm  
    Ziggy played guitar,    jamming good 
               C                         D
with Wierd and Gilly and the Spiders from Mars.

                  G                     Bm
He played it left hand, but made it too far 
              C                     D
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                             Bm
He could lick 'em by smiling, he could leave 'em to hang.
               C                                   D
He came on so loaded man, well hung and snow-white tan.

A        G                  F  F* F  F* F  F* F    G     
     But where were the spiders, 
A              G            F  F* F  F* F  F* F     G
     while the fly tried to break our balls.
A              G            F  F* F  F* F  F* F    
     Just the beer light to guide us. 

          G                                    D
And so we bitched about his fans and should we crush his sweet hands.

[power section]X2

G                          Bm
    Ziggy played for time, jiving us that 
        C                            D
we were voodoo and the kids was just crass.
           G                   Bm
He was the nazz with God-given ass. 
           C                                 D
He took it all too far but boy could he play guitar.

A          G              F  F* F  F* F  F* F   G
    Making love with his ego, 
A          G          F  F* F  F* F  F* F   G
    Ziggy sucked up into his mind 
A          G          F  F* F  F* F  F* F   G
    Like a leper messiah.

          G                               D
When the kids had killed the man I had to break up the band.
