Hey now now Do do da
Bbadd#11 Fmaj7
[Verse 1]
Gm Didn't know what time it was, the lights were low-ow- F ow
I leaned back on my radio-o- C o
Some cat was layin'down some C7 rock'n'roll'lotta soul, he F said Ab Bb2
Then the loud sound did seem to fa-a-a-de
Came back like slow voice on a wave of pha-a-a-se
That weren't no DJ that was hazy cosmic jive A Gsus2 [Pick A throughout (i.e. e|-5-)]
[Chorus]
There's a F starman Dm waiting in the sky
He'd Am like to come and Am/G meet us
But he C thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's Am told us not to blow it
Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me:
Bb Let the children Bbm lose it
F Let the children D use it
Gm Let the children C boogie

[Verse 2]
I had to phone someone so I picked on you-ou-ou
Hey, that's far out so you heard him too-oo-oo
Switch on the TV we may pick him up on channel two
Look out your window I can see the light-ight-ight
If we can sparkle he may land tonight-ight-ight
Don't tell your papa or he'll get us locked up in fright
[Chorus] x 2
