[Verse 1 - Drums in] [Gm] Didn'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 some [C7] rock'n'roll, 'Lotta soul' he said. [F][Ab][Bb] (coming back to Gm after this)

[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 [Gm] Let all the [C] children boogie
