[Intro]
C#/C G#maj7
C#/C G#maj7


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


[Verse 2]
A#m
 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#                            D#7               C    A#
 That weren't no DJ that was hazy cosmic jive.


[Chorus]
          G#       Fm
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     Cm               Cm7/A#
He'd like to come and meet us
       D#                   D#7
But he thinks he'd blow our minds.
          G#       Fm
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     Cm             Cm7/A#
He's told us not to blow it
          D#                 D#7
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile,

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


[Interlude]
C#   G#   D#   G#   C#   G#   D#


[Verse 3]
A#m
  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#                         D#7                      G#  B C#
  Switch on the TV we may pick him up on Channel 2.


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


[Chorus]
          G#       Fm
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     Cm               Cm7/A#

       D#                     D#7
But he thinks he'd blow our minds.
          G#       Fm
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     Cm             Cm7/A#

          D#                  D#7
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile,

He told me,

   "Let the children lose it, let the children use it,
A#m             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
