Gm                                                       F
Didn't know what time it was, the lights were low_ow_ow
                            C
I leaned back on my radio_o_o
                            C7
Some cat was layin'down some  rock'n'roll'lotta soul
    F   Ab  Bb9
He said
Gm                                      F
Then the loud sound did seem to fa_a_ade
                                             C
Came back like slow voice on a wave of pha_a_ase

            F      Dm
There's a starman waiting in the sky
      Am              Am/G
He's told us not to blow it
           C                   C7
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me

                                           C
If we can sparkle he may land tonight_ight_ight
                               C7                        A  G

Progression and practice

Detected progression: Bb11 → F7M → Bb → F → Gm → F → C → C7

The harmony or tempo is more demanding. Work on the hard changes before playing the whole song.

  • Start at 60 BPM. Speed up once you can keep time without stopping.
  • Practice the two hardest chord changes first, then go back to the whole song.
  • Use the transpose button if the key feels uncomfortable for your voice or the chord shapes you know.
