[Verse 1]
Dm
Didn't know what time it was,
C
lights were low oh oh
C
(I leaned) back on my radio oh oh
G
Some cat was layin' down some
C F
rock 'n' roll, lotta' soul, he said.
Dm C
Then the loud sound did seem to fade.
C G
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase.
G
That weren't no DJ.
That was hazy cosmic jive.

[Chorus]
C Am
There’s a starman waiting in the sky
Em D
He'd like to come and meet us,
G
But he thinks he'd blow our minds.
C Am
There's a starman, waiting in the sky.
Em D
He's told us not to blow it
G
Cause he knows it's all worthwhile.
F C
He told me let the children lose it.
A Dm
Let the children use it.

Let all the children boogie.

I had to phone someone,

so I picked on you.
C G
Hey, that's far out so you heard him too.
G
Switch on the TV we may pick him up
C F
on Channel Two.
Dm C
Look out your window I can see his light.

If we can sparkle he may land tonight.

Don't tell your poppa or
he'll get us locked up in fright.
