Transcribed by Johnny Birchett I just found this site a few days ago and boy was I happy. I got Richard Ashley's version of Ziggy even tho I knew how to play it already, but I couldn't decipher the words. I will maybe put Stone Love or Rock -n- Roll Suicide up here later. Definitely, I will put some Lemonheads on. Just some disclaimers. There is a lot more going on here that I don't have time to transcribe, but this will give you the basics, as correct as I know them, any Well, this is the way i play Ziggy Stardust. The intro is played with first position chords and MONDO distortion. Intro: 3---3-----2--3--2--3--2----0----0--0--0--0----0--0--0--0--0--0--0-- 3---3-----3--3--3--3--3----3----3--3--3--3----3--3--3--3--3--3--3-- 0---0-----2-----------2----0-------------0-------------0----------- 0---0-----0-----------0----2-------------0-------------2----------- 2---2----------------------3-------------2-------------0----------- 3---3-------------------------------------------------------------- *NOTE: Let everything ring out forever to get a REAL grungy sound. Verses: (These lyrics are from Richard's post. I wouldn't swear to Bowie or Stipe lyrics) G Bm C C/G-C D Ziggy played guitar, jamming good with Wierd and Gilly, and the Spiders from Mars. G Em Am C He played it left hand, but made it too far, became the special man, then we were Ziggy's fans. G Bm C C/G - C D Ziggy really sang, with screwed up eyes and screwed down hairdo, like some cat from Japan. G Em Am C He could lick 'em by smiling, he could leave 'em to hang; he came on so loaded, man. Well-hung and snow-white tan. Chorus (power chords, 6th string): A G F G So where were the Spiders? A G F G While the fly tried to break our bones. A G F G Just the beer light to guide us. So we D E bitched about his fans and should we crush his sweet hands... (Here's a tab-like view of the power chord chorus) (D)|7-7-7-7-7-----5-5-5-5-5------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-5 (Don't bother counting) (A)|7-7-7-7-7-----5-5-5-5-5------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-5 (the dashes, I am not ) (E)|5-5-5-5-5-----3-3-3-3-3------1-0-1-0-1-0-1-3 (even pretending to ) (After third time, go to---) (indicate timing. :) ) (G)|7----------------------9-------------------- (D)|7----------------------9-------------------- (A)|5----------------------7-------------------- The rest of the song pretty much repeats. The end is a Cadd9 (Ziggy played...) to a G (gui-tar....). One of the fun things to do with this song is play around with harmonics. Hard to go wrong. :) Hope this helped some. I will probably post some more now that I have found this place. -=Marc, Arch of Igor=-
