Correction by Mark
Lady Stardust — its a more sophisticated song than the others ...
A                |C#               |F#m               |D             |
A                |F#m              |E                 |Ddim — not C sharp 

Theres also something funny about your interpretation of the "awful nice" bit 
— its a simple Em descending sequence not Em to Em7 — I'm won't work out what 
the full chord names are for they will all be E's
