[Verse]

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

                  G                
He played it left hand, but made it
     Em
 too far
              Am                   
became the special man, and we were
  C
 Ziggy's band.

G                            Bm
     Ziggy really sang, with screwed
 up eyes and
              C                  
screwed down hairdo like some cat 
       D
from Japan.

                      G         
He could lick 'em by smiling, he 
                    Em
could leave 'em to hang.
               Am                  
He came on so loaded man, well hung
                 C
 and snow-white tan.


[Chorus]

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

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

[Verse]

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


[Chorus]

A          G              F  F* 
    Making love with his ego,
F  F* F  F* F   G

A          G          F  F* F  
    Ziggy sucked up into his 
F* F  F* F   G
mind
A          G          F  F* F  
    Like a leper messiah.
F* F  F* F   G


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