[Verse 1]

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


[Chorus]

           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     Emmaj7
And he was awful nice
Em7                 Em6
Really quite out of sight
            A   E     D    E
And he sang all night long


[Verse 2]

A              C#                F#m           
  The femme fatales emerged from shadows
                   D            
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
And Lady Stardust sang his songs
   D                  E
Of darkness and dismay


[Chorus]

           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     Emmaj7
And he was awful nice
Em7              Em6
Really quite paradise
            A   E     D    E
And he sang all night long


[Interlude]

D          D#dim            E
Ooh, how I sighed when they asked if I knew his name

            A   E           D           E
Oh they were alright, the band was altogether
            A   E            D            E
Yes he was alright, and the song went on forever
      Em      Emmaj7 Em7                 Em6
He was up all night  really quite out of sight
            A   E     D    E
He sang all night long
