couplet 1 

Gm
Didn't know what time it was the lights were low-ow-ow.

F
 I lean back on my radio-o-o

C                            C7
 Some cat was laying down some rock'n'roll,

                      F Ab Bb
'Lotta soul' he said. 

Couplet  2

Gm
 Then the loud sound did seem to fa-a-ade

F
 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.


Refrein:  

          F       Dm
There's a starman waiting in the sky

     Am               C
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
He's told us not to blow it

          C7
'Cause he knows it all worthwhile,


He told me,

Bb*         Bbm             F         D7
   "Let the children lose it, let the children use it,

Gm         C 
   Let the children boogie."


Bb* | F   | C   | F   | Bb* | F   | C   ||

Couplet 3

Gm
  Well I had to phone someone so I picked on you-ou-ou

F
  Hey that's far out, so you heard him too-oo-oo

C                         C7                      F Ab Bb
  Switch on the TV we may pick him on Channel 2.

couplet 4 

Gm
  Look out your window I can see his li-i-ight,

F
  If we can sparkle he may land toni-i-ight,

C                              C7                            A  G 
 Don't tell your papa or he'll get us locked up in a fright. 

Refrein:

          F       Dm
There's a starman waiting in the sky

     Am               C
He'd like to come and meet us

But he thinks he'd blow our minds.

There's a starman waiting in the sky

     Am             C

   "Let the children lose it, let the children use it,

Gm         C 
   Let the children boogie."

How to practise this song

  1. 1

    Practise the barre chord Ab

    Ab is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.

    Open
  2. 2

    Practise the change: Ab ↔ A

    Play each chord for 4 beats, then 2, then 1 — with the metronome at 60-70 bpm. Only push the tempo once the change is clean and on time.

    Open
  3. 3

    Great first song

    Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
