David Bowie - Starman Chords

[intro]
Bb/A  Fmaj7
Bb/A  Fmaj7

[verse 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.

[verse 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
 That weren't no DJ
         C7               A    G
that was hazy cosmic jive.

[chorus]
          F       Dm
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     Am               Am7/G
He'd like to come and meet us
       C                   C7
But he thinks he'd blow our minds.
          F       Dm
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     Am             Am7/G
He's told us not to blow it
          C                 C7
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile,

He told me,
Bb          Bbm             F
   "Let the children lose it,
        D/F#
let the children use it,
Gm             C
   Let all the children boogie."

[interlude]
Bb  F  C  F  Bb  F  C

[verse 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
  Switch on the TV we
    C7                      F  Ab Bb
may pick him up on Channel 2.

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