Song: Ziggy Stardust
Artist: David Bowie
Tabbed By: James Fantom
Snowblind190@hotmail.com
The Tablature is the electric guitar part. The Chords above it are the accoustic's
Bowie's) part
The Lyrics are out of place probably, im not sure.
This tab probably be hard to understand, seeing as it's just text, but some good
are power tab and Guitar Pro.
Power tab is free, but guitar pro costs 60 bucks, but it is by far the better program.

I picked this one out on piano. It's kind of tough to do the descending
baseline with a guitar, but it sounds really cool.

Solemn faced the village settles down, undetected by the stones

And the hangman plays the mandolin before he goes to
D D/C# D/C D/B Bb6
Sleep, and the last thing on his mind
A A#dim
is the wild-eyed boy imprisoned 'neath the

covered wooden shaft, folds the rope into it's bag.
A A#dim
Blows his pipe of smolders, blankets

smoke into the room, and the day will end for some.
C G F E7sus E7
As the night begins for one.
(Chords the same until they pick up again)
Staring through the message in his eyes lies a solitary son
from the mountain called the freecloud where the
eagle dare not fly, and the patience in his sigh
gives no indication for the
townsmen to decide, so the village dreadful groans
Pronouncing gross diversion as the
label for the dog. Ooo it's the madness in his eyes

As he breaks the night to cry
D D/C# D/C D/B Bb6
Its really me, really you and really me

And the mountain moved it's eyes to the world and realized
Bb Ab C E7sus E7
Where the snow had saved a place for the wild-eyed boy from free cloud
(Same chords)
And the village dreadful cried as the moat began to rise
For the smile stayed on the face of the wild-eyed boy from freecloud.

And the women once proud clutched the heart of the crowd
G C
as the boulders smashed down from the mountains hand.

And the magic in the stare of the wild-eyed boy said

"Stop Free Cloud, they won't think to cut me down, no, no, no!"
F C F C
But the cottages fell like a playing card hell
Bb F C
and the tears on the face of the wise boy
F C F C
came trembling down to the rumbling ground
Bb F C
and the missionary mystic of peace/love
D D/C# D/C D/B Bb6
Stumbled back to cry among the clouds
A A#sus D D/C# C
Kicking back the pebbles from the Free Cloud mountain's track.

All of my postings were picked out by ear, so if you see of any mistakes,
please mail me. I have posted them because I can't really agree with the
previous postings.
The Mott the Hoople version from 1972 was recorded in D major. Bowie's
studio version from 1973 (now available on RarestOneBowie) is in between C
and B major (I think), probably because of the playback speed. I'm not sure
about available live recordings by either artists. The lyrics between the
two studio versions vary slightly - Bowie's lyrics are used here; however, I
chose to write the music in D major rather than get involved with the C
major/B major deal.
In D major:
The first four measures of the verse contain an ascending D major
scale down to A. The beginning of each measure gets one note.

I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence.
And so the days flow thru my eyes
But the days still seem the same.
And this children you spit on
As they try to change their worlds,
Are immune to your consultations.
Theyr'e quite aware of what they're going thru.
Ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-ch-changes, don't tell them to grow up and out of it.
Ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-ch-changes, there's your shame,
you've left us up yo our neck in it.
Time may change me, but you can't trace time.
Strange fascination fascinating me.
Oh changes are taking the place I'm going thru.
Ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange,
Ch-ch-ch-changes, Oh look out you Rock 'n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-ch-changes, pretty soon now you're gonna get a little older.
Time may change me, But i can't trace time.
