[verse 1]
A      C#7           F#m    F#m/E  D
People stared at the makeup on his face

A              F#m              E          C#/F
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                  D/E  E
Of darkness and disgrace
[chorus]
E          A   E        D             D/E E
And he was alright, the band was altogether

           A   E        D            D/E E
Yes he was alright, the song went on forever

E          Em    Em/D#
And he was awful nice

Em/D                Em/C#
Really quite out of sight

N.C          A   E         D    D/E E
And he sang all night long
[verse 2]
A        C#7               F#m
Femme fatale  emerged from shadows

F#m/E          D
To watch this creature fair

A            F#m
Boys stood upon their chairs

E                      C#/F
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                  D/E  E
Of darkness and dismay
[chorus]
E         A   E        D             D/E E
And he was alright, the band was altogether

           A   E        D            D/E E
Yes he was alright, the song went on forever

E          Em    Em/D#
And he was awful nice

Em/D             Em/C#
Really quite paradise

N.C          A   E         D    D/E E
And he sang all night long
[bridge]
D        D#dim
Oh how I sighed when they

Esus4               E
asked if I knew his name
[chorus]
E         A   E        D             D/E E
And he was alright, the band was altogether

           A   E        D            D/E E
Yes he was alright, the song went on forever

E          Em    Em/D#
And he was awful nice

Em/D             Em/C#
Really quite paradise

N.C          A   E         D    D/E E
And he sang all night long
