Verse 1:

Gm                                                      F
Didn't know what time it was the lights were low-ow-ow, I lean back on my radio-o-o
C                             C7                                F Ab Bb
Some cat was laying down some rock'n'roll, 'Lotta soul' he said....

Gm                                        F
Then the loud sound did seem to fa-a-ade, 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 1:

          F       Dm                      Am               C              C7
Theres a starman waiting in the sky, he'd like to come and meet us but he thinks he'd blow our minds
          F       Dm                       Am             C                 C7
There's a starman waiting in the sky, he's told us not to blow it, cause he knows it all worthwhile
            Bb          Bbm           F         D7             Gm       C
He told me "let the children lose it, let the children use it, let the children boogie

Verse 3:

Gm                                                    F
Well I had to phone someone so I picked on you-ou-ou, 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 on Channel 2...

Gm                                            F
Look out your window I can see his li-i-ight, 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 a fright....

There's a starman waiting in the sky, he's told us not to blow it, cause he knows it all worthwhile
