This an arrangement for the piano, which actually drives the song. I think it's 
pretty accurate, save a few dissonances which can only be added on a piano. That 
said, you can play the following chords capoed on the 6th, 1st, or figure out a 
cool open tuning to do this. The chords line up pretty well with the words. Thanks!
Stranger into Starman

!@#$%^ Smilers
         Bbm7/         B  F#maj7  
I turned stranger into star man
        Emaj/  B            F#   C#  
In the Sunday     New York Times
           Bbm7/         B  F#maj7  
Like Anne Sexton with her star rats,
         Emaj/     B        F#  C#  
working backwards, 'til it rhymes
                   F#Ebmin                       C#Bbmin
For the love of God, you can't tell me again (x2)
       Bbm7/      B           F#maj7  
With a pencil and eraser, 
        Emaj/   B         F#  C#  
I've rewritten all your crimes
         Bbm7/         B  F#maj7  
I turned stranger into star man
        Emaj/    B       F#  C#_____________
