(Bb)(F)(Bb)Hey la la...(F)Hey la la...
(Gm)Didn't know what time it was, and the lights were low - ow - (F)ow
I leaned back on my radio - o - (C)o
Some cat was laying down some (C7)rock 'n' roll, "lotta soul", he (F)said.(Ab)(Bb)
(Gm)Then the loud sound did seem to fa - a - a(F)de,
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of pha - a - a(C)se,
That weren't no D.J., that was (C7)hazy cosmic jive.(A)(G)

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

(Bb)(F)(C)(F)(Bb)(F)(C)
(Gm)I had to phone someone, so I picked on you - ou - (F)ou
Hey, that's far out, so you heard tim too - oo - (C)oo
Switch on the T.V., we may (C7)pick him on channel (F)two.(Ab)(Bb)
(Gm)Look out your window, I can see his ligh - igh - (F)ight,
if we can sparkle he may land tonigh - igh - (C)ight,
Don't tell your papa or he'll (C7)get us locked up in fright.(A)(G)
