[Verse 1]
A C# F#m F#m7/ED Dsus2
*
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#7
Jumped up on the stage
A E
Lady Stardust sang his songs
D Eadd9 E
Of darkness and disgrace
[Chorus]
A6 E D E
And he was al-right, the band was all together
A6 E D E
Yes, he was al-right, the song went on forever
Em Emmaj7
Yes, he was awful nice
Em7 Em6
Really quite out of sight
A E D Eadd9 E
And he sang all night long
[Verse 2]
A C# F#m
*
The femme fatales emerged from shadows
F#m7/E D Dsus2
To watch this creature fair
A F#m E C#
Boys stood upon their chairs to make their point of view
F#m D A C#
I smiled sadly for a love I could not obey
A E
Lady Stardust sang his songs
D Eadd9 E
Of darkness and dismay
[Chorus]
A6 E D E
And he was al-right, the band was all together
A6 E D E
Yes, he was alright, the song went on forever
Em Emmaj7
And he was awful nice
Em7 Em6
Really quite paradise
A E D Eadd9 E
And he sang all night long
[Bridge]
D D#dim7 E
Ooh, how I sighed when they asked if I knew his name
[Chorus]
A6 E D E
Oh, they were al-right, the band was all together
A6 E D E
Yes, he was al-right, and the song went on forever
Em Emmaj7
He was awful nice
Em7 Em6
Really quite paradise

He sang all night long
