Version: 8 Type: Tab

Ziggy Stardust Tab

I looked at other tabs for this song and they just weren't right or they were just for the rhythm guitar.
Now im not sure mine is perfect... but to me it sounds pretty accurate.


P.S.- I was going to write lyrics along with the tabs but I realized I didnt give myself enough room.
So sorry about that.
Ill just put the beggingings of each part.

LYRICS:


Ziggy played guitar, Jammin 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

He came so loaded man, well hung and snow white tan


So where were the Spiders, while the fly 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?


Ziggy played for time, jiving us that we were vodoo

The kids were just crass, he was the nazz

With God-given ass

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



Ziggy played guitar






That took some time...
Tell me how it is please
