Verse 1:

  A augmentedA       F# minorF#m
I tried to break away from you
      A augmentedA           F# minorF#m
From the spics and blacks and the gum you chew
        A augmentedA         F# minorF#m
Where the posters are torn by the muggin' gangs
     A augmentedA         F# minorF#m
By the faggy parks and the burnt out vans

     E MajorE          A augmentedA
I've got ninety-nine years of laying in the dark
    E MajorE        A augmentedA
And I'm far too young to lie
     E MajorE          A augmentedA
I've got ninety-nine ways to play my guitar
       E MajorE        A augmentedA
It's going to pay me before I die

Chorus:

  E MajorE               A augmentedA
So bob your sweet head, Brother, Ziggy going to play
   E MajorE              A augmentedA
I'm just about the best you can hear
    E MajorE            A augmentedA
Gonna rock it in your head, Shazam! and Kapow!
      E MajorE             A augmentedA
With my guitar and Mr. Bang-o we can give you sweet head

Verse 2:

     A augmentedA       F# minorF#m
I'm tough as glass and clean as night
     A augmentedA          F# minorF#m
Well if looks can love we can love all right
     A augmentedA       F# minorF#m
I'm your rubber peacock angelic whore
      A augmentedA       F# minorF#m
I'm a wrought iron face upon the wall

     E MajorE          A augmentedA
I had ninety-nine years of murder come life
     E MajorE          A augmentedA
And I'm running away from it all
  E MajorE          A augmentedA
I got a bedroom, every mirror in town
         E MajorE       A augmentedA
They're going to claim me if I fall
