[Verse 1]
Gm
Didn’t know what time it was the lights were low-ow-ow.
F
I lean back on my radio-o-o
C C7
Some cat was laying down some rock’n’roll,
F Ab Bb
‘Lotta soul’ he said.
Gm
Then the loud sound did seem to fa-a-ade
F
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of pha-a-ase
C C7 A G
That weren’t no DJ that was hazy cosmic jive.
[Chorus]
F Dm
There’s a starman waiting in the sky
Am Am7/G
He’d like to come and meet us
C C7
But he thinks he’d blow our minds.
F Dm
There’s a starman waiting in the sky
Am Am7/G
He’s told us not to blow it
C C7
‘Cause he knows it’s all worthwhile,
He told me,
Bb Bbm F D/F#
“Let the children lose it, let the children use it,
Gm C
Let all the children boogie.”
[Interlude]
Bb F C F Bb F C
Gm
Well I had to phone someone so I picked on you-ou-ou
F
Hey that’s far out, so you heard him too-oo-oo
C C7 F Ab Bb
Switch on the TV we may pick him up on Channel 2.
Gm
Look out your window I can see his li-i-ight,
F
If we can sparkle he may land toni-i-ight,
C C7 A G
Don’t tell your papa or he’ll get us locked up in fright.
[Chorus]
F Dm
There’s a starman waiting in the sky
Am Am7/G
He’d like to come and meet us
C C7
But he thinks he’d blow our minds.
F Dm
There’s a starman waiting in the sky
Am Am7/G
He’s told us not to blow it
C C7
‘Cause he knows it’s all worthwhile,
He told me,
Bb Bbm F D/F#
“Let the children lose it, let the children use it,
Gm C
Let all the children boogie.”
