Gm Didn't know what time it was the lights were low-ow-ow. F I lean back on my radio C Some cat was laying down some rock'n'roll, F '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 That weren't no DJ that was hazy cosmic jive. Chorus: F Dm There's a starman waiting in the sky Am G He'd like to come and meet us C G/B But he thinks he'd blow our minds. F Dm There's a starman waiting in the sky Am G He's told us not to blow it C A# 'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile, He told me, A# A#m F "Let the children lose it, D7 Let the children use it, Gm C Let all the children boogie." 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 papa or he'll get us locked up in fright Chorus: There's a starman waiting in the sky He'd like to come and meet us But he thinks he'd blow our minds There's a starman waiting in the sky He told us not to blow it 'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile He told me Let the children lose it Let the children use it Let all the children boogie Starman waiting in the sky He'd like to come and meet us But he thinks he'd blow our minds There's a starman waiting in the sky He told us not to blow it 'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile He told me Let the children lose it Let the children use it Let all the children boogie You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA# A#m Am B C D7 Dm F G Gm Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
