Bowie's original intro is pretty simple, but very nice on 12-string.

[G]Ziggy played guitar, [Bm/F#]jamming good with Wierd and [C/G]Gilly,
And the spiders from M[D]ars. He played it left h[G]and, but made it to [Em]far,
Became the sp[A]ecial man, then we were Z[C/G]iggy's band.
[G]Ziggy really sang, s[Bm/F#]crewed up eyes and screwed down [C/G]hairdo
Like som cat from J[D]apan, he could lick'em by s[G]miling
He could leave'em to h[Em]ang
Came on so lo[A]aded man, well hung and s[C/G]now-white tan.
#(In chorus use barre-chords, and play at the F-chord alternating F and F/E)#
[Am]So w[G]here were the s[F]piders w[Am]hile the f[G]ly tried to b[F]reak our balls
[Am]Just the b[G]eer light to g[F]uide us,
So we b[D]itched about his fans and should we c[E]rush his sweet hands?

[G]Ziggy played for time, j[Bm/F#]iving us that we were v[C/G]oodoo
The kids was just c[D]rass, he was the n[G]azzWith God given [Em]ass
He took it a[A]ll too far, but boy could he p[C/G]lay guitar.
[Am]Making l[G]ove with his [F]ego Z[Am]iggy s[G]ucked up i[F]nto his mind
[Am]Like a l[G]eper me[F]ssiah
When the k[D]ids had killed the man I had to b[E]reak up the band.

[C]Ziggy played guita[G]r
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official DAVID BOWIE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
