Space Oddity – David Bowie
Ground control to Major Tom
Ground control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills
And put your helmet on
C Em / : / Am Am7 / D7 /
Ground control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown, engines on
Check ignition
And may God’s love be with you
This is ground control to Major Tom
You’ve really made the grade
And the papers want to know
Whose shirts you wear
Now it’s time to leave the capsule
If you dare
C E7 / F / Fm C / F / Fm C / F
This is Major Tom to ground control
I’m stepping through the door
And I’m floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there’s nothing I can do
Em7 / Fmaj7 Em7 / Bb Am / G F /
[Instrumental break]
C F G A / : / Fmaj7 Em7 / A C / Dsus2 E7
Though I’m past 100,000 miles
I’m feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows
Which way to go
Tell my wife I lover her very much
She knows
Ground control to Major Tom
Your circuit’s dead, there’s something wrong
Can you hear me Major Tom
Can you hear me Major Tom
Can you hear me Major Tom
Can you hear
Am I floating ’round my tin can
Far above the moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there’s nothing I can do
