[Intro]
A/G# Emaj7
A/G# Emaj7


[Verse 1]
F#m
Didn't know what time it was the lights were low-ow-ow.
E
 I lean back on my radio-o-o
B                            B7
 Some cat was laying down some rock'n'roll,
                     E  G A
'Lotta soul' he said.


[Verse 2]
F#m
 Then the loud sound did seem to fa-a-ade
E
 Came back like a slow voice on a wave of pha-a-ase
B                            B7               G#    F#
 That weren't no DJ that was hazy cosmic jive.


[Chorus]
          E       C#m
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     G#m               G#m7/F#
He'd like to come and meet us
       B                   B7
But he thinks he'd blow our minds.
          E       C#m
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     G#m             G#m7/F#
He's told us not to blow it
          B                 B7
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile,

He told me,
A          Am             E         C#/F
   "Let the children lose it, let the children use it,
F#m             B
   Let all the children boogie."


[Interlude]
A   E   B   E   A   E   B


[Verse 3]
F#m
  Well I had to phone someone so I picked on you-ou-ou
E
  Hey that's far out, so you heard him too-oo-oo
B                         B7                      E  G A
  Switch on the TV we may pick him up on Channel 2.


[Verse 4]
F#m
  Look out your window I can see his li-i-ight,
E
  If we can sparkle he may land toni-i-ight,
B                              B7                        G#    F#
 Don't tell your papa or he'll get us locked up in fright.


[Chorus]
          E       C#m
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     G#m               G#m7/F#
He'd like to come and meet us
       B                     B7
But he thinks he'd blow our minds.
          E       C#m
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     G#m             G#m7/F#
He's told us not to blow it
          B                  B7
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile,

He told me,
A          Am             E         C#/F
   "Let the children lose it, let the children use it,
F#m             B
   Let all the children boogie."

E         C#m
  Starman waiting in the sky
     G#m               G#m7/F#
He'd like to come and meet us
       B                    B7
But he thinks he'd blow our minds.
          E       C#m
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     G#m             G#m7/F#
He's told us not to blow it
          B                   B7
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile,

He told me,
A          Am             E         C#/F
   "Let the children lose it, let the children use it,
F#m             B
   Let all the children boogie."

A          E            B            E

A          E            B            E
La la la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
A          E            B            E
La la la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
