[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.
 
E   D
 
[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.
                G         F
Let all the children boogie.

[Verse 2]
 
Dm                      
I had to phone someone, 
                   C
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.
C                                    G
If we can sparkle he may land tonight.
G
Don't tell your poppa or 

he'll get us locked up in fright.
 
E  D
 
 
[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.
                G         C
Let all the children boogie.
 
 
 
         Am
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.
                G         F
Let all the children boogie.
