David Bowie — Ziggy Stardust (ver 6) 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
