Intro: A E

A C# F#m D

People stared at the makeup on his face

A F#m E C#

Laughed at his long black hair, his animal grace

F#m D

The boy in the bright blue jeans

A C#

Jumped up on the stage

A E

And lady stardust sang his songs

D E

Of darkness and disgrace

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 Em(#7)

And he was awful nice

Em7 Em6

Really quite out of sight

A E D E

And he sang all night long

The femme fatales emerged from shadows

To watch this creature fair

Boys stood upon their chairs to make thier point of view

I smiled sadly for a love I could not obey

And Lady Stardust sang his songs

Of darkness and dismay

And he was alright, the band was altogether

Yes he was alright, the songs went on forever

And he was awful nice

Really quite paradise

And he sang all night long

D D#dim E

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

Oh they were alright, the band was altogether

Yes he was alright, and the song went on forever

He was up all night

Really quite out of sight

He sang all night long
