Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]Oh[D][C][G][Am]
[G][D][C][G][Am]
[G]Oh [D]yea[C]h[G][Am]
[G][D][C][G][Am]

[Verse 1]
[G]Ziggy played guitar
[Bm]Jamming good with Weird and Gill[C]y
And the Spiders from [D]Mars
He played it left [G]hand
But made it too [Em]far
Became the [Am]special man
[A]Then we were Zig[C]gy's band
[G]Ziggy really sang
[Bm]Screwed-up eyes and screwed down [C]hairdo
Like some cat from Ja[D]pan
He could lick 'em by smi[G]ling
He could leave 'em to [Em]hang
They came on so [Am]loaded, man
[A]Well-hung and sno[C]w-white tan

[Bridge 1]
[Am]So where[G] were the Spid[F]ers
[Am]While the fly [G]tried to break[F] our bones
[Am]With just the beer[G] light to guid[F]e us
So we [D]bitched about his fans
And should we [E]crush his sweet hands? (Oh)

[Interlude 1]
[G]Mmm[D][C][G][Am]
[G]Hmm[D][C][G][Am]

[Verse 2]
[G]Ziggy played for time
[Bm]Jiving us that we were voo[C]doo
The kids were just [D]crass
He was the [G]nazz with God-given [Em]ass
He took it all [Am]too far
[A]But, boy, could he pla[C]y guitar

[Bridge 2]
[Am]Making love [G]with his ego[F]
[Am]Ziggy suck[G]ed up into[F] his mind, ah
[Am]Like a leper[G] messiah[F]
When the [D]kids had killed the man
I had to [E]break up the band

[Outro 1]
[G][D][C][G][Am]
[G][D][C][G][Am]
Oh, [G]yeah[D][C][G][Am]
[G]Ooh, [D]Zig[C]gy played guitar[G]
