Tom : A
[Intro] A E
A C#7 F#m D
People stared at the makeup on his face
A F#m E C#7
Laughed at his long black hair, his animal grace
F#m D
The boy in the bright blue jeans
A C#7
Jumped up on the stage
A E
And lady stardust sang his songs
D E
Of darkness and disgrace
A E D E/D
And he was alright, the band was altogether
A E D E
Yes he was alright, the song went on forever
Em Em/Eb
And he was awful nice
Em/D Em/C#
Really quite out of sight
A E D E/D
And he sang all night long
A C#7 F#m
Femme fatales emerged from shadows
D
To watch this creature fair
A F#m
Boys stood upon their chairs
E C#7
To make their point of view
F#m D A C#7
I smiled sadly for a love I could not obey
A E
Lady stardust sang his songs
D E
Of darkness and dismay
[Refrão]

And he was alright, the band was altogether
A E D E
Yes he was alright, his song went on forever

A E D E/D
And he sang all night long

Ooh, how I sighed when they asked if I knew his name
