[Verse] D#m D#m C# C# - G# G#7 C#-E>F#    [Intro] (x2)

        D#m D#m C# C# - G# G#7 F D#       F# F# C#M7 C#M7

Didn't know what time it was,        ╔═════════╗

    lights were low-ow-ow            ║ Starman ║

I lean back on my radio-o-oh         ╚═════════╝

Some cat was laying down some rock'n'roll,

    lotta soul, he said

Then the loud sound did seem to fa-a-ade

Came back like a slow voice

    on a wave of pha-a-ase

That weren't no DJ that was hazy cosmic jive


[Chorus] (C# Bbm Fm-Fm7 G#-G#7 x2) - F#-F#m C#-Bb D#m-G#

(There's a) starman waiting in the sky

He'd like to come and meet us          ╔═══════╗

    but he thinks he'd blow our minds  ║ David ║

There's a starman waiting in the sky   ║ Bowie ║

He's told us not to blow it            ╚═══════╝

    'cause he knows it's all worthwhile

He told me, let the children (lose/use) it (x2)

Let all the children boogie

                                        [Instru]

Well, I had to phone someone   F# C# G# C# - F# C# G#

    so I picked on you-ou-ou

Hey, that's far out, so you heard him too-oo-oo

Switch on the TV, we may pick him up

    on Channel Two

Look out your window, I can see his li-i-ight

If we can sparkle, he may land toni-i-ight

Don't tell your papa or he'll get us

    locked up in fright              [Chorus]

                                     [Chorus] ()

[Outro] F# C# G# C#
