A       C#           F#m            D
People stared at the makeup on his face
A              F#m            E             C#/F
Laughed at his long black hair, his animal grace
F#m              D
The boy in the bright blue jeans
A                 C#
Jumped up on the stage
     A             E
And lady stardust sang his songs
  D                  E
Of darkness and disgrace

Chorus:
           A  E          D            E
And he was alright, the band was altogether
           A  E          D               E
Yes he was alright, the songs went on forever
           Em    Emmaj7
And he was awful nice
Em7                 Em6
Really quite out of sight
            A    E     D   E
And he sang all night long

The femme fatales emerged from shadows
To watch this creature fair
Boys stood upon their chairs to make thier point of view
I smiled sadly for a love I could not obey
And Lady Stardust sang his songs
Of darkness and dismay

Chorus

D          D#dim            E
Ooh, how I sighed when they asked if I knew his name

Chorus
