 Ground control to Major Tom 
C                        Em
 Ground control to Major Tom 
Am         Am7/G             D7/F#
 Take your protein pills and put your helmet on 
 C                                    Em
 (Ten) Ground control (Nine) to Major Tom (Eight)

 C                               E7                          F
 This is ground control to Major Tom, you've really made the grade 
         Fm             C                     F
 And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear 
          Fm                C              F
 Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare


[Chorus 2]

 C                              E7                             F    
 This is Major Tom to ground control, I'm stepping through the door 
         Fm            C             F
 And I'm floating in a most peculiar way 
         Fm              C           F
 And the stars look very different today 


[Bridge]

Fmaj7     Em7                  Fmaj7         Em7
Here am I sitting in a tin can far above the world 
Bbmaj7          Am9              G             F
Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do

[Verse 2]

C                                    E7                       F
Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles, I'm feeling very still 
      Fm                 C                  F
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go 
        Fm              C              F
Tell my wife I love her very much, she knows 
G                 E7-9            Am                     Am7/C
Ground control to Major Tom, your circuits dead, there's something wrong 
        D7
Can you hear me, Major Tom? 
        C/G
Can you hear me, Major Tom? 
        G
Can you hear me, Major Tom? 

Can you...

Here am I floating in my tin can far above the moon 
Bbmaj7          Am9              G             F
Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do
