Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F]
[F]
[C]
[C]
[F]Hey-da- da
[F]
[C]Goodbye love
[C]

[Verse 1]
[Dm]Didn't know what time it was
the lights were low
[C]I leaned back on my radio
[G]Some cat was layin' down some
rock 'n' roll "lotta soul," he [C]said[Eb][F]
[Dm]Then the loud sound did seem to fade
[C]Came back like a slow voice
on a wave of phase
[G]That weren‘t no DJ,
that was hazy cosmic [E]jive[D]

[Chorus 1]
There's a [C]starman [Am]waiting in the sky
He'd [Em]like to come and [D]meet us
But he [G]thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a [C]starman [Am]waiting in the sky
He's [Em]told us not to [D]blow it
'Cause he [G]knows it's all worthwhile, he told me
[F]Let the chi[Fm]ldren lose it
[C]Let the chi[A]ldren use it
[Dm]Let all the chil[G]dren boogie

[Interlude 1]
[F][C][G][C]
[F][C][G]

[Verse 2]
[Dm]I had to phone someone
so I picked on you
[C]Hey, that's far out, so you heard him too
[G]Switch on the TV, We may pick him up
on channel [C]two[Eb][F]
[Dm]Look out your window, I can see his light
[C]If we can sparkle, he may land tonight
[G]Don't tell your poppa
or he'll get us locked up in [E]fright[D]

[Chorus 2]
There's a [C]starman [Am]waiting in the sky
He'd [Em]like to come and [D]meet us
But he [G]thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a [C]starman [Am]waiting in the sky
He's [Em]told us not to [D]blow it
'Cause he [G]knows it's all worthwhile, he told me
[F]Let the chi[Fm]ldren lose it
[C]Let the chi[A]ldren use it
[Dm]Let all the chil[G]dren boogie

[Chorus 3]
[C]Starman wai[Am]ting in the sky
He'd [Em]like to come and [D]meet us
But he [G]thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a [C]starman [Am]waiting in the sky
He's [Em]told us not to [D]blow it
'Cause he [G]knows it's all worthwhile, he told me
[F]Let the chi[Fm]ldren lose it
[C]Let the chi[A]ldren use it
[Dm]Let all the chil[G]dren boogie

[Outro 1]
