those that have the spiders from mars cd theres an acoustic version on there if you want to really nail the strumming and timings. It helped me with getting this one fairly quickly]]> Easy Songs fingersnfumbs https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/ziggy-stardust-bowie/#post-198908 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/ziggy-stardust-bowie/#post-196416 Thu, 31 Aug 2006 21:25:36 +0000 Easy Songs corbind https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/ziggy-stardust-bowie/#post-196416 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/ziggy-stardust-bowie/#post-196382 Thu, 31 Aug 2006 18:26:58 +0000 That intro is spot on as I remember it, all though its been a while since I listened to or heard this song.]]> Easy Songs Rodders https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/ziggy-stardust-bowie/#post-196382 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/ziggy-stardust-bowie/#post-20075 Thu, 31 Aug 2006 00:33:51 +0000
For those unfamiliar with the title - this should be recognizable:

No hits on "ziggy" - so here it comes.
Not too many chords actually: G 320003 Bm 224432 C 332010 D x00232 E 022100 am 002210 F 133211 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 http://home.online.no/~carolbo/musikk/bridge_ziggy.mp3 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
