Didnʼt know what time it was the lights were low-ow-ow.

I lean back on my radio-o-o

Some cat was laying down some rockʼnʼroll,

Thereʼs a starman waiting in the sky
Am G
Heʼd like to come and meet us
C
But he thinks heʼd blow our minds.
F Dm
Thereʼs a starman waiting in the sky
Am G
Heʼs told us not to blow it
C
ʼCause he knows itʼs all worthwhile,
Bb
He told me,
Bbm F D
«Let the children lose it, let the children use it,
Gm C
Let all the children boogie.»

Well I had to phone someone so I picked on you-ou-ou
F
Hey thatʼs far out, so you heard him too-oo-oo
C F
Switch on the TV we may pick him up on Channel 2.

Look out your window I can see his li-i-ight,
F
If we can sparkle he may land toni-i-ight,
C A G
Donʼt tell your papa or heʼll get us locked up in fright.
