[F]
[E] In a loud,
[F] good world
[Gm] Didn't know what time it was, the lights were low
[F] I leaned back on my radio
[C] Some cat was laying down some rock and roll
Gotta [F] show this here
[Ab] [Bb]
[Gm] Then the loud sound did seem to fade
[F] Came back like a slow voice on a wave of pain
[C] That one old DJ that was lazy [A] caused me to hide
[G]
[F] There's a star man [Dm] waiting in the sky
[A] He'd like to [C] come and meet us, but he thinks he'd blow our minds
[F] There's a star man [Dm] waiting in the sky
[Am] He's told us [C] not to blow it, cause he knows it's all worthwhile
[Bb] He's home here, let the [Bbm] children lose [F] it
Let [D] the children [Gm] use it, let all [C] the [Bb] children do it

[F] [C]
[G] had to phone someone so I picked on you
[F] Hey, that's far out, so you heard him too
[C] Switched on the TV, we made that came up on [F] channel [Ab] two
[Bb] [Gm] Looked out your window, I can see his light
[F] If we can't sparkle, he may land tonight
[C] Don't tell your papa, or he'll get us locked up in [A] time
There's [G] [F] a star man
[Dm] waiting in the sky
[Am] He'd like to come [C] and meet us, but he thinks he'd blow our minds

Let's start jamming David Bowie - (Original Single Mix, 2015 Remaster) Starman chords, practice the chord sequence Gm, Bb, F, C, F, Am, C, F, Dm, F and Bb. I suggest starting at a calm pace of 50 BPM, and as you gain confidence, approach the song's BPM of 100. Given the song's key of F Major, adjust the capo to align with your vocal range and chord preference.
