Verse 1

Gm
Didn't know what time it was the lights were low-ow-ow.
F
I leaned 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 2

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."

Switch on the TV we may pick him up on Channel 2.

Verse 4

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 fright.
