[Verse 1]
 
G                     Bm                            C
  Ziggy played guitar,  jamming good with Weird and Gilly, and the Spiders from
 D                       G                     Em             Am
Mars. He played it left hand, but made it too far, became the special man,
             C             G                    Bm
then we were Ziggy's band.   Ziggy really sang, screwed up eyes and screwed
       C                          D                           G
down hairdo like some cat from Japan, he could lick 'em by smiling He could
              Em             Am                       C
leave 'me to hang came on so loaded man, well hung and snow white tan.
 
 
[Chorus] Played in barre chords
 
(On the F release your index finger and press it back again, (listen to the song))
 
Am       G               F           Am    G             F
.....So where were the spiders while   the fly tried to break our balls
    Am      G             F                 D
Just   the beer light to guide us, So we bitched about his fans and should
we
 E
crush his sweet hands?

  Ziggy played for time, jiving us that we were voodoo The kids was just
  D                G                   Em                Am

[Chorus] Played in barre chords
 
 Am          G            F   G  Am        G         F    G
.....Making love with his ego,   Ziggy sucked up into his
      Am         G        F             D

in the chorus the chords Am, Gm and Fm aren't right in my opinion

if you are playing this in the key of G, the B must be a Bm

The Intro's wrong. Look it up in the tabs at this site. And in the "So where were the spiders.." section the chords are Am G F. And then F E F E F E F G on every eight.
