[Intro]
C/B Gmaj7
C/B Gmaj7


[Verse 1]
Am
Didn't know what time it was the lights were low-ow-ow.
G
 I lean back on my radio-o-o
D                            D7
 Some cat was laying down some rock'n'roll,
                     G  A# C
'Lotta soul' he said.


[Verse 2]
Am
 Then the loud sound did seem to fa-a-ade
G
 Came back like a slow voice on a wave of pha-a-ase
D                            D7               B    A
 That weren't no DJ that was hazy cosmic jive.


[Chorus]
          G       Em
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     Bm               Bm7/A
He'd like to come and meet us
       D                   D7
But he thinks he'd blow our minds.
          G       Em
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     Bm             Bm7/A
He's told us not to blow it
          D                 D7
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile,

He told me,
C          Cm             G         E/G#
   "Let the children lose it, let the children use it,
Am             D
   Let all the children boogie."


[Interlude]
C   G   D   G   C   G   D


[Verse 3]
Am
  Well I had to phone someone so I picked on you-ou-ou
G
  Hey that's far out, so you heard him too-oo-oo
D                         D7                      G  A# C
  Switch on the TV we may pick him up on Channel 2.


[Verse 4]
Am
  Look out your window I can see his li-i-ight,
G
  If we can sparkle he may land toni-i-ight,
D                              D7                        B    A
 Don't tell your papa or he'll get us locked up in fright.


[Chorus]
          G       Em
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     Bm               Bm7/A
He'd like to come and meet us
       D                     D7
But he thinks he'd blow our minds.
          G       Em
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     Bm             Bm7/A
He's told us not to blow it
          D                  D7
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile,

He told me,
C          Cm             G         E/G#
   "Let the children lose it, let the children use it,
Am             D
   Let all the children boogie."

G         Em
  Starman waiting in the sky
     Bm               Bm7/A
He'd like to come and meet us
       D                    D7
But he thinks he'd blow our minds.
          G       Em
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     Bm             Bm7/A
He's told us not to blow it
          D                   D7
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile,

He told me,
C          Cm             G         E/G#
   "Let the children lose it, let the children use it,
Am             D
   Let all the children boogie."

C          G            D            G
La la la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
C          G            D            G
La la la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
C          G            D            G
La la la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
C          G            D            G
La la la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
