Didn't know what time it was the lights were low-ow-ow.

F
 I lean back on my radio-o-o

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

'Lotta soul' he said.

Verse 2

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

F
 Came back like a slow voice on a wave of pha-a-ase

 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 all worthwhile,


He told me,

  "Let the children lose it, let the children use it,

Gm     C
  Let the children boogie."

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

 Switch on the TV we may pick him on Channel 2.

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

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

C               C7              A G
 Don't tell your papa or he'll get us locked up in a fright.
