Intro: A E

Verse 1:
A        Db            Gbm           D
  People stared at the makeup on his face
A                Gbm            E            Db
  Laughed at his long black hair, his animal grace
Gbm                  D
    The boy in the bright blue jeans
A                   Db
  Jumped up on the stage
    A             E
And Lady Stardust sang his songs
  D                   E
Of darkness and disgrace

Chorus:
           A E          D            E
And he was alright, the band was altogether
           A E          D                E
Yes he was alright, the songs went on forever
          Em     Em7  
And he was awful nice
Em7                 Em6
Really quite out of sight
            A   E     D    E
And he sang all night long

Verse 2:
A              Db                Gbm
  The femme fatales emerged from shadows
                   D
To watch this creature fair
A             Gbm                 E                    Db
  Boys stood upon their chairs to make their point of view
Gbm          D           A                  Db
    I smiled sadly for a love I could not obey
    A             E
And Lady Stardust sang his songs
   D                  E
Of darkness and dismay

Chorus:
           A E          D            E
And he was alright, the band was altogether
           A E          D                E
Yes he was alright, the songs went on forever
          Em     Em7  
And he was awful nice
Em7              Em6
Really quite paradise
            A   E     D    E
And he sang all night long

Interlude:
D          Ebdim            E
Ooh, how I sighed when they asked if I knew his name


            A   E           D           E
Oh they were alright, the band was altogether
            A   E            D            E
Yes he was alright, and the song went on forever
      Em      Em7    Em7                 Em6
He was up all night  really quite out of sight
            A   E     D    E
He sang all night long
