Gm
Didn't know what time it was, the lights were low
F
I leaned back on my radio
C			      C7				    F  Ab  Bb
Some cat was laying 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  G
That weren't no DJ that was hazy cosmic jive


CHORUS:
	  F	  Dm
There's a Starman waiting in the sky
     Am		      C/G
He'd like to come and meet us
       C7
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
	  F	  Dm
There's a Starman waiting in the sky
     Am		    C/G
He's told us not to blow it
	 C7
Cause he knows it's all worthwhile, he told me
Bb	Bbm
Let the children lose it
F	D7
Let the children use it
Gm 	    C7
Let all the children boogie


SOLO: Bb  F  C  F  Bb  F  C


Gm
I had to phone someone so I picked on you
F
Hey, that's far out so you heard him too
C			C7				F  Ab  Bb
Switch on the TV we may pick him up on channel two
Gm
Look out your window, I can see his light
F
If we can sparkle he may land tonight
C			       C7			    A  G
Don't tell your poppa or he'll get us locked up in fright

  • The only other thing worth mentioning is the high pitched 'Hazy Cosmic Jive...' bit. This is just 'A' but very high pitched and doubled. Maybe the 17th fret of the high E string would do the trick.
