[Verse]
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. 
[Verse]
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               C 
He'd like to come and meet us
       C7 
But he thinks he'd blow our minds.
          F       Dm 
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     Am             C 
He's told us not to blow it
          C7 
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile,

He told me,
Bb          Bbm             F         D7 
   "Let the children lose it, let the children use it,
Gm             C  
   Let all the children boogie.

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.
[Verse]
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 a fright. 
[Chorus]
          F       Dm 
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     Am               C 
He'd like to come and meet us
       C7 
But he thinks he'd blow our minds.
          F       Dm 
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     Am             C

   "Let the children lose it, let the children use it,
Gm             C  
   Let all the children boogie." 
[Chorus]
F          Dm 
   Starman waiting in the sky
     Am               C 
He'd like to come and meet us

But he thinks he'd blow our minds.
