Didn't know what time it was the lights were low-ow-ow.

 I lean back on my radio-o-o

 Some cat was laying down some rock'n'roll,

'Lotta soul' he said.

Chorus
          F       Dm
There's a starman waiting in the sky
     Am               C
He'd like to come and meet us

But he thinks he'd blow our minds.

There's a starman waiting in the sky
     Am             C
He's told us not to blow it

'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile,
He told me,

   "Let the children lose it, let the children use it,
Gm             C 
   Let all the children boogie."

  Look out your window I can see his li-i-ight,
