[Verse 1]
Cm
Didn't know what time it was the lights were low-ow-ow.
A#
 I lean back on my radio-o-o
F                            F7
 Some cat was laying down some rock'n'roll,
                     A#  C# D#
'Lotta soul' he said.


[Verse 2]
Cm
 Then the loud sound did seem to fa-a-ade
A#
 Came back like a slow voice on a wave of pha-a-ase
F                            F7               D    C
 That weren't no DJ that was hazy cosmic jive.


[Chorus]
          A#       Gm
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     Dm               Dm7/C
He'd like to come and meet us
       F                   F7
But he thinks he'd blow our minds.
          A#       Gm
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     Dm             Dm7/C
He's told us not to blow it
          F                 F7
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile,

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


[Interlude]
D#   A#   F   A#   D#   A#   F


[Verse 3]
Cm
  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
F                         F7                      A#  C# D#
  Switch on the TV we may pick him up on Channel 2.


[Verse 4]
Cm
  Look out your window I can see his li-i-ight,
A#
  If we can sparkle he may land toni-i-ight,
F                              F7                        D    C
 Don't tell your papa or he'll get us locked up in fright.


[Chorus]
          A#       Gm
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     Dm               Dm7/C
He'd like to come and meet us
       F                     F7
But he thinks he'd blow our minds.
          A#       Gm
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     Dm             Dm7/C
He's told us not to blow it
          F                  F7
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile,

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

A#         Gm
  Starman waiting in the sky
     Dm               Dm7/C
He'd like to come and meet us
       F                    F7
But he thinks he'd blow our minds.
          A#       Gm
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     Dm             Dm7/C
He's told us not to blow it
          F                   F7
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile,

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


[Outro]
D#   A#   F   A#

D#          A#            F            A#
La la la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
D#          A#            F            A#
La la la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
D#          A#            F            A#
La la la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
D#          A#            F            A#
La la la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
