[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Dm
Didn't know what time it was the lights were low-ow-ow.
C
 I lean back on my radio-o-o
G                            G7
 Some cat was laying down some rock'n'roll,
                     C  D# F
'Lotta soul' he said.


[Verse 2]
Dm
 Then the loud sound did seem to fa-a-ade
C
 Came back like a slow voice on a wave of pha-a-ase
G                            G7               E    D
 That weren't no DJ that was hazy cosmic jive.


[Chorus]
          C       Am
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     Em               Em7/D
He'd like to come and meet us
       G                   G7
But he thinks he'd blow our minds.
          C       Am
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     Em             Em7/D
He's told us not to blow it
          G                 G7
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile,

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


[Interlude]
F   C   G   C   F   C   G


[Verse 3]
Dm
  Well I had to phone someone so I picked on you-ou-ou
C
  Hey that's far out, so you heard him too-oo-oo
G                         G7                      C  D# F
  Switch on the TV we may pick him up on Channel 2.


[Verse 4]
Dm
  Look out your window I can see his li-i-ight,
C
  If we can sparkle he may land toni-i-ight,
G                              G7                        E    D
 Don't tell your papa or he'll get us locked up in fright.


[Chorus]
          C       Am
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     Em               Em7/D
He'd like to come and meet us
       G                     G7
But he thinks he'd blow our minds.
          C       Am
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     Em             Em7/D
He's told us not to blow it
          G                  G7
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile,

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

C         Am
  Starman waiting in the sky
     Em               Em7/D
He'd like to come and meet us
       G                    G7
But he thinks he'd blow our minds.
          C       Am
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     Em             Em7/D
He's told us not to blow it
          G                   G7
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile,

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

F          C            G            C
La la la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
F          C            G            C
La la la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
F          C            G            C
La la la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la

La la la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
