Gm
Didn't know what time it was the lights were low-ow-ow.
F
I lean back on my radio
C                            C7
Some cat was laying down some rock'n'roll,
                     F G# A#
'Lotta soul' he said.

Gm
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
F
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
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               C
He'd like to come and meet us
        C7
But he thinks he'd blow our minds.
            F      Dm
There's a starman waiting in the sky
      Am              C
He's told us not to blow it
           C7
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile,
He told me,
A#        A#m             F
"Let the children lose it,
          D7
Let the children use it,
Gm            C
Let all the children boogie."

I had to phone someone so I picked on you
Hey, that's far out, so you heard him too
Switch on the TV, we may pick him up on channel two

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

Chorus

Starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
