Ziggy Stardust Chords

[Intro]
 G     D      C     G        
(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    G               F        G  Am
  So where were the spiders,
          G                 F          G  Am
While the fly tried to break our balls?
            G            F
Just the beer light to guide us,
   G  D
so we bitched about his fans
D             E
and should we crush his sweet hands?
 
 
[Interlude]
 
 G     D      C     G        (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     G              F        G  Am
Making love with his ego,
      G           F            G  Am
Ziggy sucked up into his mind,
       G         F
Like a leper Messiah,
     G   D
When the kids had killed the man
D        E
I had to break up the band!
 
 
[Interlude]
 
 G     D      C     G        (x2)
 
 
[Outro]
 
G     D     C     G
Yeah...               ooo....
D     C                      G
            ZIGGY PLAYED GUITAR!
