Capo third fret

Intro: G/F# Dmaj7

 

Em

Didn’t know what time it was the lights were low-ow-ow.
D
I lean back on my radio-o-o
A                                                        A7
Some cat was laying down some rock’n’roll,
.                                     D F G
‘Lotta soul’ he said.

 

Em
Then the loud sound did seem to fa-a-ade
D
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of pha-a-ase
A                                                  A7                                F#   E
That weren’t no DJ that was hazy cosmic jive.

 

.                   D            Bm
There’s a starman waiting in the sky
.       F#m                           A
He’d like to come and meet us
.               A7
But he thinks he’d blow our minds.
.                  D             Bm
There’s a starman waiting in the sky
.        F#m                   A
He’s told us not to blow it
.                  A7
‘Cause he knows it all worthwhile,

He told me,
G               Gm             D              B7
“Let the children lose it, let the children use it,
Em         A
Let the children boogie.”

G D   A   D   G D   A

 

Em
Well I had to phone someone so I picked on you-ou-ou
D
Hey that’s far out, so you heard him too-oo-oo
A                                             A7                                          D F G
Switch on the TV we may pick him on Channel 2.

 

Em
Look out your window I can see his li-i-ight,
D
If we can sparkle he may land toni-i-ight,
A                                                       A7                                      F#  E
Don’t tell your papa or he’ll get us locked up in a fright.

[Chorus]

.                   D            Bm
There’s a starman waiting in the sky
.       F#m                           A
He’d like to come and meet us
.               A7
But he thinks he’d blow our minds.
.                  D             Bm
There’s a starman waiting in the sky
.        F#m                   A
He’s told us not to blow it
.                  A7
‘Cause he knows it all worthwhile,

.                   D            Bm
There’s a starman waiting in the sky
.       F#m                           A
He’d like to come and meet us
.               A7
But he thinks he’d blow our minds.
.                  D             Bm
There’s a starman waiting in the sky
.        F#m                   A
He’s told us not to blow it
.                  A7
‘Cause he knows it all worthwhile,






 

.                   D            Bm
There’s a starman waiting in the sky
.       F#m                           A
He’d like to come and meet us
.               A7
But he thinks he’d blow our minds.
.                  D             Bm
There’s a starman waiting in the sky
.        F#m                   A
He’s told us not to blow it
.                  A7
‘Cause he knows it all worthwhile,

He told me,
G               Gm             D              B7
“Let the children lose it, let the children use it,
Em         A
Let the children boogie.”
