This is a hard ass song so please vote for it to get on the site, 
and unlike the other tab this version contains the intro, and 
the chords. It takes a long ass time to tab as well, so apreciate 
songs like this. Im sure the intro and outro are at aleast 99.9 
percent correct and the chords are very accurate. The tabbing 
is a bit sloppy but atleast you can read it.

Ziggy played guitar, jamming good with Weird and Gilly The spiders 
from Mars
                  G                    Em  
He played it left hand But made it too far
           A                          C/G
Became the special man, then we were Ziggy's band

Ziggy really sang, screwed up eyes and screwed down hairdo

Like some cat from Japan, he could lick 'em by smiling

He could leave 'em to hang

Came on so loaded man, well hung and snow white tan.

Chorus
  Am                            G                                  F             G

So where were the spiders while the fly tried to break our balls

Just the beer light to guide us,

      D/A                                   E/B

So we bitched about his fans and should we crush his sweet hands?

Ziggy played for time, jiving us that we were voodoo

The kids were just crass, he was the nazz

With God given eyes

He took it all too far but boy could he play guitar
  
Making love with his ego Ziggy sucked up into his mind

Like a leper messiah

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



Oh yeah 

Ooooooo

C            G

Ziggy played geetaarrrrrr
