Verse 1

A* C# F#m F#m7/E D Dsus2
People stared at the makeup on his face
Laughed at his long black hair, his animal grace
The boy in the bright blue jeans
Jumped up on the stage
Lady Stardust sang his songs
Of darkness and disgrace 

Chorus

And he was al-right, the band was all together
Yes, he was al-right, the song went on forever
Yes, he was awful nice
Really quite out of sight
And he sang all night long  

Verse 2

A* C# F#m
The femme fatales emerged from shadows
To watch this creature fair 
Boys stood upon their chairs to make their point of view
I smiled sadly for a love I could not obey
Lady Stardust sang his songs
Of darkness and dismay  

Chorus

And he was al-right, the band was all together
Yes, he was alright, the song went on forever
And he was awful nice
Really quite paradise
And he sang all night long  

Bridge

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

Chorus

Oh, they were al-right, the band was all together
Yes, he was al-right, and the song went on forever
He was awful nice
Really quite paradise
He sang all night long
