[Intro]
D/C# Amaj7
D/C# Amaj7


[Verse 1]
Bm
Didn't know what time it was the lights were low-ow-ow.
A
 I lean back on my radio-o-o
E                            E7
 Some cat was laying down some rock'n'roll,
                     A  C D
'Lotta soul' he said.


[Verse 2]
Bm
 Then the loud sound did seem to fa-a-ade
A
 Came back like a slow voice on a wave of pha-a-ase
E                            E7               C#    B
 That weren't no DJ that was hazy cosmic jive.


[Chorus]
          A       F#m
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     C#m               C#m7/B
He'd like to come and meet us
       E                   E7
But he thinks he'd blow our minds.
          A       F#m
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     C#m             C#m7/B
He's told us not to blow it
          E                 E7
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile,

He told me,
D          Dm             A         F#/A#
   "Let the children lose it, let the children use it,
Bm             E
   Let all the children boogie."


[Interlude]
D   A   E   A   D   A   E


[Verse 3]
Bm
  Well I had to phone someone so I picked on you-ou-ou
A
  Hey that's far out, so you heard him too-oo-oo
E                         E7                      A  C D
  Switch on the TV we may pick him up on Channel 2.


[Verse 4]
Bm
  Look out your window I can see his li-i-ight,
A
  If we can sparkle he may land toni-i-ight,
E                              E7                        C#    B
 Don't tell your papa or he'll get us locked up in fright.


[Chorus]
          A       F#m
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     C#m               C#m7/B
He'd like to come and meet us
       E                     E7
But he thinks he'd blow our minds.
          A       F#m
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     C#m             C#m7/B
He's told us not to blow it
          E                  E7
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile,

He told me,
D          Dm             A         F#/A#
   "Let the children lose it, let the children use it,
Bm             E
   Let all the children boogie."

A         F#m
  Starman waiting in the sky
     C#m               C#m7/B
He'd like to come and meet us
       E                    E7
But he thinks he'd blow our minds.
          A       F#m
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     C#m             C#m7/B
He's told us not to blow it
          E                   E7
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile,

He told me,
D          Dm             A         F#/A#
   "Let the children lose it, let the children use it,
Bm             E
   Let all the children boogie."
