Song: Starman
Artist: David Bowie

intro:
Bb  F            Bb   F
    Hey now now

verse 1
Gm    
Didn't know what time it was, lights were low oh oh
F
I leaned back on my radio oh oh
C                             C7                             F    G Bb G 
Some cat was layin' down some rock 'n' roll, 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 (single note repeat)
That weren't no DJ.  That was hazy cosmic jive.  A           G  (chords under)

chorus
          F      Dm
Ther's a starman waiting in the sky
Am                    Am/G bass
He'd like to come and meet us, 
       C
but he thinks he'd blow our minds.
          F        Dm          
There's a starman, waiting in the sky.
Am                    Am/G bass
He's told us not to blow it 
         C
Cause he knows it's all worthwhile.

He told me:
Bb
Let the children lose it.
F        Dm
Let the children use it.
Bb          C
Let all the children boogie.

verse 2
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.
