Gm                                                      F  
Didn't know what time it was the lights were low-ow-ow, I lean back on my radio-o-o  
C                             C7                                F  Ab  Bb  
Some cat was laying down some rock'n'roll, 'Lotta soul' he said....  

Gm                                        F  
Then the loud sound did seem to fa-a-ade, came back like a slow voice on a wave of pha-a-ase  
C                            C7                A      G  
That weren't no DJ that was hazy cosmic jive....

Theres 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's told us not to blow it, cause he knows it all worthwhile

Gm                                                    F  
Well I had to phone someone so I picked on you-ou-ou, hey that's far out so you heard him too-oo-oo?

Gm                                            F  
Look out your window I can see his li-i-ight, if we can sparkle he may land toni-i-ight,  
C                             C7                             A   G
