RIP Starman


Verse 1:

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

Chorus 1:

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

Verse 3:

Gm                          F
Well I had to phone someone so I picked on you-ou-ou, hey that's far out so you heard him too-oo-oo?
C            C7          F Ab Bb
Switch on the TV we may pick him on Channel 2...

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