Ziggy stardust - Bowie

just about these will do

Intro
Trying to explain

First play a regular G chord Down (wait) UpDown
And then it is D - Dsus4 - D - Dsus4 - D - Dadd9

play a D chord on the downstroke and just quickly add your pinky on the 3rd fret on the 1st string
do the same on the upstroke - play the chord (the three / four treblemost strings) and add the pinky on the 3rd on the 1st string
plain D chord on the downstroke again and remove the middle finger so that the high E rings (Dadd9)

One meassure C, two beats em, two beats am
Repeat once
Got it?

Bridge
Trying to explain

The rhythm part is the trick - listen to it and you'll get it.

Has to be something like this:

1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & | 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & | 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & |
D U D U D D D D U D U D u D U
Am G F F* F F* F F* F G

F* : Just lift the tip of your barre index finger to play a F/E
Something like this

OK - here it is:

Intro
|G | D | C | em am | (repeat)
G Bm C
Ziggy played guitar, jamming good with Weird and Gilly
D
And The spiders from Mars.
G Em
He played it left hand But made it too far
am C
Became the special man, then we were Ziggy's band

verse 2 same as above

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

Bridge
am G F
So where were the spiders
am G F
while the fly tried to break our balls
am G F
Just the beer light to guide us,
D E
So we bitched about his fans and should we crush his sweet hands?

Intro again(?)

Verse again
Ziggy played for time, jiving us that we were voodoo
The kids were just crass, he was an ass
With God given hands
He took it all too far but boy could he play guitar

Bridge again
Making love with his ego Ziggy sucked up into his money
Like a leper messiah
When the kids had killed the man I had to break up the band.

intro again(?)

Ziggy played guitar
