			Ziggy Stardust   - David Bowie

I discovered this site about a week ago and have already ftp'd about 50 songs 
off it. G I thought I should try to repay the contributors in some way.      

This is my first posting to 'nevada'.  As you may be able to guess from the
chords that follow, I am a real amateur guitar player.  I have a cheap accoustic
and I know only the basic chords. The way I worked this out, was to try all the
chords I knew, until something sounded OK.  

The recording I used was the demo version on the 1990 re-release of the Ziggy 
StaRdust album.  This re-release has the demo version (totally accoustic) as a 
bonus track.  

Please send me corrections to chords.
Things I'm not sure about...
  - the D on 'Mars' in the first line (and at similiar places)
  - the D on 'break up the band' & 'crush his sweet hand'

G                         Bm  
    Ziggy played guitar,    jamming good 
               C                         D
with Wierd and Gilly and the Spiders from Mars.

                  G                     Bm
He played it left hand, but made it too far 
              C                     D
became the special man, and we were Ziggy's band.

G                            Bm         
     Ziggy really sang, with screwed up eyes and 
              C                         D
screwed down hairdo like some cat from Japan.

                      G                             Bm
He could lick 'em by smiling, he could leave 'em to hang.
               C                                   D
He came on so loaded man, well hung and snow-white tan.

A        G                  F  F* F  F* F  F* F    G     
     But where were the spiders, 
A              G            F  F* F  F* F  F* F     G
     while the fly tried to break our balls.
A              G            F  F* F  F* F  F* F    
     Just the beer light to guide us. 

          G                                    D
And so we bitched about his fans and should we crush his sweet hands.

G                          Bm
    Ziggy played for time, jiving us that 
        C                            D
we were voodoo and the kids was just crass.
           G                   Bm
He was the nazz with God-given ass. 
           C                                 D
He took it all too far but boy could he play guitar.

A          G              F  F* F  F* F  F* F   G
    Making love with his ego, 
A          G          F  F* F  F* F  F* F   G
    Ziggy sucked up into his mind 
A          G          F  F* F  F* F  F* F   G
    Like a leper messiah.

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

NOTES: on D* and F*
   D* is used in the [power] section.  I play a normal D and used my 'pinky'
   on the 3rd fret on alternate strums to acheive the (D D* D D* etc) sound on 
   the record. I think D* is actually Dsus but I'm not sure.

   F* is used in the chorus. I pay the F chord as a barre chord (see tab above)
   and lift my first (barre) finger on alternate strums.
   
   I guess you really have to listen to the record to get the [chorus] and
   [power] sections timed/played correctly.

Anyway, there it is.  By no means an expert opinion, but it seems to impress my
flat-mate.

Have fun.    Richard Ashley      (U.C.T.)  South Africa
