Tuning: E A D G B E

I took these chords and patterns from Drue James' YouTube video on the song and made it into a tab to follow along. Original video here -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AesbYNXrbGY&index=4&list=WL [Intro] Bb Fmaj7 Bb Fmaj7 [Verse]

^GmDidn't know what time it was the lights were low-ow-ow. ^F I lean back on my radio-o-o ^C/G Some cat was laying down some 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/G That weren't no DJ that was hazy cosmic jive.

There's a ^Fstarman ^Dmwaiting in the sky He'd ^Amlike to come and ^C/Gmeet us But he ^C7thinks he'd blow our minds. There's a ^Fstarman ^Dmwaiting in the sky He's ^Amtold us not to ^C/Gblow 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 ^C/Gchildren boogie."
