Intro : 

Bb	F	Bb	F


Gm                                                      F
Didn't know what time is was, the lights were low - ow -ow
                                C
I leaned back on my radio - o - o -
                              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,
                                                   C								
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of pha - a - ase,
                              C7              A     G
That weren't no D.J., that was hazy cosmic jive.   


Chorus :

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

Bridge :

[Bb]     [F]     [C]     [F]      [Bb]     [F]     [C]


Gm                                               F
I had to phone someone, so I picked on you - ou - ou - 
                                                 C
Hey, that's far out, so you heard him too - oo - oo -
              C7                                  F    Ab   Bb
Switch on the T.V., we may pick him up on channel two.
Gm                                                F
Look out your window, I can see his ligh - igh - ight
                                             C
if we can sparkle he may land tonigh - igh - ight,
                                  C7                 A    G
Don't tell your papa or he'll get us locked up in fright.
