     Ziggy rea

              
lly sang, with

 
 screwed up ey

es and
              
screwed down h

             
airdo like som

            
e cat from Jap

an.

              
He could lick 

             
'em by smiling

              
, he could lea

          
ve 'em to hang

.
              
He came on so 

            
loaded man, we

              
ll hung and sn

          
ow-white tan.


[Chorus]

           
     But where

              
 were the spid

             
ers, 
            
     while the

             
 fly tried to 

       
break our ball

       
s.
            
     Just the 

             
beer light to

And so we bitc

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.
