[F] I lean back on my radio-o-o
[C] Some cat was laying down some [C7] rock'n'roll,
'Lotta soul' he said.
[F] [Ab] [Bb] (coming back to Gm after this)

(Drums stop - hard strum)
[A] [G]
[Chorus - Drums back in]
There's a [F] star [F] man [Dm] waiting in the sky
He'd [Am] like to come and [C] meet us
But he [C7] thinks he'd blow our minds.
There's a [F] star [F] man [Dm] waiting in the sky
He's [Am] told us not to [C] blow it
'Cause he [C7] knows it's all worthwhile,
He told me,
[Bb] Let the [Bbm] children lose it
[F] let the [D7] children use it

[F] [Ab] [Bb]
[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 he'll [C7] get us locked up in fright
(Drums stop - hard strum)
[A] [G]
[Chorus]
There's a [F] star [F] man [Dm] waiting in the sky
