Bbmaj7 Fmaj7 (x2)
[Verse 1]
GmDidn't know what time it was the lights were low-ow-ow.
F I lean back on my radio-o-o
C Some cat was laying down somC7e rock'n'roll,
'Lotta soul' he said. F Ab Bb*
[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 that was C7hazy cosmic jive. A Gsus2
[Chorus]
There's a Fstarman Dmwaiting in the sky
He'd Amlike to come and Cmeet us
But he C7thinks he'd blow our minds.
There's a Fstarman Dmwaiting in the sky
He's Amtold us not to Cblow it
'Cause he C7knows it all worthwhile,
He told me,
Bb "Let the Bbmchildren lose it,
F let the D7children use it,
Gm Let the Cchildren boogie."
