 I lean back on my radio-o-o

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

There's a starman waiting in the sky
     Am               C

     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."
