[Intro - BPM 100 - No drums][Bb/A] [Bb/A] [Fmaj7] [Fmaj7] x 2 (hey now now etc)
[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)
[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 [C7] hazy cosmic jive.
(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
[Gm] Let all the [C] children boogie
[Interlude - Solo]
[Bb] [F] [C] [F] - [Bb] [F] [C] (drop final bar)
[Verse 3]
[Gm] Well I had to phone someone so I picked on you-ou-ou
[F] Hey that's far out, so you heard him too-oo-oo
[C] Switch on the TV we may [C7] pick him up on Channel 2
[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
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
[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.
