[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 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]
