[Verse 1]
 
A*        C#           F#m    F#m7/E  D   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
        A   E      D    Eadd9 E
He sang all night long

Great tab, thank you so much for this.

After a puzzling discussion with a musicien friend trying to play those chords on the piano, I've realized I play a D#dim7 in the break part ("ooh How I sighed..") instead of a D#dim. Doesn't change much in the ear but maybe more precise.
