[Intro]
B/A# F#maj7
B/A# F#maj7


[Verse 1]
G#m
Didn't know what time it was the lights were low-ow-ow.
F#
 I lean back on my radio-o-o
C#                            C#7
 Some cat was laying down some rock'n'roll,
                     F#  A B
'Lotta soul' he said.


[Verse 2]
G#m
 Then the loud sound did seem to fa-a-ade
F#
 Came back like a slow voice on a wave of pha-a-ase
C#                            C#7               A#    G#
 That weren't no DJ that was hazy cosmic jive.


[Chorus]
          F#       D#m
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     A#m               A#m7/G#
He'd like to come and meet us
       C#                   C#7
But he thinks he'd blow our minds.
          F#       D#m
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     A#m             A#m7/G#
He's told us not to blow it
          C#                 C#7
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile,

He told me,
B          Bm             F#         D#/G
   "Let the children lose it, let the children use it,
G#m             C#
   Let all the children boogie."


[Interlude]
B   F#   C#   F#   B   F#   C#


[Verse 3]
G#m
  Well I had to phone someone so I picked on you-ou-ou
F#
  Hey that's far out, so you heard him too-oo-oo
C#                         C#7                      F#  A B
  Switch on the TV we may pick him up on Channel 2.


[Verse 4]
G#m
  Look out your window I can see his li-i-ight,
F#
  If we can sparkle he may land toni-i-ight,
C#                              C#7                        A#    G#
 Don't tell your papa or he'll get us locked up in fright.


[Chorus]
          F#       D#m
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     A#m               A#m7/G#
He'd like to come and meet us
       C#                     C#7
But he thinks he'd blow our minds.
          F#       D#m
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     A#m             A#m7/G#
He's told us not to blow it
          C#                  C#7
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile,

He told me,
B          Bm             F#         D#/G
   "Let the children lose it, let the children use it,
G#m             C#
   Let all the children boogie."

F#         D#m
  Starman waiting in the sky
     A#m               A#m7/G#
He'd like to come and meet us
       C#                    C#7
But he thinks he'd blow our minds.
          F#       D#m
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     A#m             A#m7/G#
He's told us not to blow it
          C#                   C#7
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile,

He told me,
B          Bm             F#         D#/G
   "Let the children lose it, let the children use it,
G#m             C#
   Let all the children boogie."


[Outro]

B          F#            C#            F#
La la la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
B          F#            C#            F#
La la la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
B          F#            C#            F#
La la la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
