 5 -5   5     4  4  
Ziggy played guitar
 5  -5    5    5    -5   6  -7 -6    
Jamming good with weird and Gilly
-3b -3b  -3b -3  4    -4
And the spiders from Mars
-4    -4   5   -5   6
He played it left hand
 3    3  -3b -3  -4 
But made it too far
-4  5  -5   5   -4  4 
Became the special man
 4    5   -5  5  -4   4   -4 4
Then we were Ziggys band ~~~~~~

 5 -5  5  4   4  
Ziggy really sang
   5     5   5   5    -5      6   -6  -6
Screwed up eyes and screwed down hair do
 -3b  -3b -3b  -3   4 -4 
Like some cat from Japan
-4   -4   -4    5 -5  -6  6 
He could lick 'em by smiling
 3   3     3   -3b -3  -4   4
He could leave 'em to hang ~~~~
 -4   5 -5  5  4
Came on so loaded
 4    -4   5   -5    4    -4   4 
Well hung and snow white tan ~~~~~
-5   6    -5   -4  -5  6
So where were the spiders
  -5   -5  6    -5  -4   7   -6    6    -4 
While the fly tried to break our balls ~~~~ 
 -5   -5   -5   6    -5   -4  -5   6
With just the beer light to guide us
-4 -5    6     -5 6  -5   6
So we bitched about his fans
 -5   -5   -4    7   7    7    -6 
And should we crush his sweet hands

 5 -5    5    -4   4
Ziggy played for time
 5  5   5  5   -5   6   -7 -6
Jiving us that we were voodoo
-3b  -3b   -3   4    -4
The kids were just crass
-4  5   -5   6   3    3  -3b -3  -4
He was the nazz with god giv-en ass
-4  5   -5  5   4   -4
He took it all too far
 4   4    5   -5   5   -4  4  -4 4      
But boy could he play guitar  ~~~~

-5  -5   6   -5   -4 -5 6
Making love with his e-go
-5 -5    6   -5 -4  7  -6   6   -4
Ziggy sucked up in to his mind ~~~~
 -5  -5 6 -5  -4 -5 6 
Like a leper  messiah
 -4   -5   6   -5    6    -5  6
When the kids had killed the man
-5 -5 -4   7   7    7  -6 
I had to break up the band

-4    4    3  5   6
Oh  Yeah ~~~ Oh ~~~~~
-6 -6     -6      -6     6 
ZIGGY   PLAYED   GUI - TAR !!
