Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 -  -  -  x4
Now  Ziggy played guitar, jamming  good with Weird and Gilly  and the Spiders
 from Mars
 He played it left hand  but made it too far
 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
So where  were the Spiders  -  - while  the rats  tried to break  our balls
Just  the beer  light to guide  us
 So we bitched  about his fans and should we crush  his sweet hands
 -  -  -  x4
Ziggy  played for time, jibing  us that we were voodoo,  the kids were just
crass
 He was the nazz  with God given ass
 He took it all  to 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 oooh
 -  -  -  x2
Oh  yeah,  Oooo  oooo
Now  Ziggy played Guitaaaaaaaaaar
 C9 Riff = 032033, 020033, 000033. This creates an easy transition into
 and from the surrounding chords. Some of the chords are accented by lifting
 fingers off but this is as close as I could get. The original is a half
 step down from this version but I find it easier to play like this.
 Comment, correction and/or rating is appreciated. Enjoy!
