[Intro]
G/F# Dmaj7
G/F# Dmaj7


[Verse 1]
Em
Didn't know what time it was the lights were low-ow-ow.
D
 I lean back on my radio-o-o
A                            A7
 Some cat was laying down some rock'n'roll,
                     D  F G
'Lotta soul' he said.


[Verse 2]
Em
 Then the loud sound did seem to fa-a-ade
D
 Came back like a slow voice on a wave of pha-a-ase
A                            A7               F#    E
 That weren't no DJ that was hazy cosmic jive.


[Chorus]
          D       Bm
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     F#m               F#m7/E
He'd like to come and meet us
       A                   A7
But he thinks he'd blow our minds.
          D       Bm
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     F#m             F#m7/E
He's told us not to blow it
          A                 A7
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile,

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


[Interlude]
G   D   A   D   G   D   A


[Verse 3]
Em
  Well I had to phone someone so I picked on you-ou-ou
D
  Hey that's far out, so you heard him too-oo-oo
A                         A7                      D  F G
  Switch on the TV we may pick him up on Channel 2.


[Verse 4]
Em
  Look out your window I can see his li-i-ight,
D
  If we can sparkle he may land toni-i-ight,
A                              A7                        F#    E
 Don't tell your papa or he'll get us locked up in fright.


[Chorus]
          D       Bm
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     F#m               F#m7/E
He'd like to come and meet us
       A                     A7
But he thinks he'd blow our minds.
          D       Bm
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     F#m             F#m7/E
He's told us not to blow it
          A                  A7
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile,

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

D         Bm
  Starman waiting in the sky
     F#m               F#m7/E
He'd like to come and meet us
       A                    A7
But he thinks he'd blow our minds.
          D       Bm
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     F#m             F#m7/E
He's told us not to blow it
          A                   A7
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile,

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

G          D            A            D
La la la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
G          D            A            D
La la la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la
G          D            A            D
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
