[Intro]
F#/F C#maj7
F#/F C#maj7


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


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


[Chorus]
          C#       A#m
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     Fm               Fm7/D#
He'd like to come and meet us
       G#                   G#7
But he thinks he'd blow our minds.
          C#       A#m
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     Fm             Fm7/D#
He's told us not to blow it
          G#                 G#7
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile,

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


[Interlude]
F#   C#   G#   C#   F#   C#   G#


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


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


[Chorus]
          C#       A#m
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     Fm               Fm7/D#
He'd like to come and meet us
       G#                     G#7
But he thinks he'd blow our minds.
          C#       A#m
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     Fm             Fm7/D#
He's told us not to blow it
          G#                  G#7
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile,

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

C#         A#m
  Starman waiting in the sky
     Fm               Fm7/D#
He'd like to come and meet us
       G#                    G#7
But he thinks he'd blow our minds.
          C#       A#m

          G#                   G#7

   "Let the children lose it, let the children use it,
D#m             G#
   Let all the children boogie."


[Outro]
F#   C#   G#   C#

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