Starman - David Bowie
[Intro]
C G C G
Hey now now
[Verse 1]
Am
Didn't know what time it was, lights were low oh oh
G
I leaned back on my radio oh oh
D D7 G A# C
Some cat was layin' down some rock 'n' roll, lotta' soul, he said.
Am
Then the loud sound did seem to fade.
G
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase.
D D7 B A
That weren't no DJ. That was hazy cosmic jive.
[Chorus]
G Em
There’s a starman waiting in the sky
Bm Bm/A
He'd like to come and meet us,
D7
But he thinks he'd blow our minds.
G Em
There's a starman, waiting in the sky.
Bm Bm/A
He's told us not to blow it
D7
Cause he knows it's all worthwhile.
C Cm
He told me let the children lose it.
G E
Let the children use it.
Am D
Let all the children boogie.
[Bridge]
C G D7 G C G D7
[Verse 2]
Am
I had to phone someone, so I picked on you.
G
Hey, that's far out so you heard him too.
D D7 G A# C
Switch on the TV we may pick him up on Channel Two.
Am
Look out your window I can see his light.
G
If we can sparkle he may land tonight.
D D7 B A
Don't tell your poppa or he'll get us locked up in fright.
