Ground Control to Major Tom, Ground Control to Major Tom
Am        Am7/G             D9 
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
C                       Em   C                           Em
Ground Control to Major Tom, Commencing countdown engines on
Am      Am7/G          D9
Check ignition and may God's love be with you


C                               E7                          F
This is Ground Control to Major Tom, you've really made the grade
        Fm             C/E                   F
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
         Fm                C/E            F
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare
C                              E7                             F
This is Major Tom to Ground Control, I'm stepping through the door
        Fm            C/E           F
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
        Fm              C/E         F
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

Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles, I'm feeling very still
      Fm                 C/E                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
Ground Control to Major Tom
     Am                      Am7/G
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong

Can you hear me, Major Tom?
      C/G
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
      G
Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you....

For here am I sitting in a tin can far above the world

Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do
