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,

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

Gm C
Let the children boogie."
