Am                            D
 Take your protein pills and put your helmet on

 Ground control to Major Tom
C                             Em
 Commencing countdown engines on
Am        C              D
 Check ignition and may God's love be with you

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

This is Major Tom to ground control
                          F
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


     F         Em
For here am I sitting in a tin can
 F             Em
Far above the world
  A#              Am
Planet Earth is blue
             G             F
And there's nothing I can do

C  G A  C  G A
F  Em  A   C   D   E

  C                                   E
Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
                   F
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                Em
Ground control to Major Tom,
      Am
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
         D
Can you hear me Major Tom?
         C
Can you hear me Major Tom?
         G
Can you hear me Major Tom?
Can you...


 F          Em
Here am I floating round my tin can
 F             Em
Far above the Moon
  A#              Am
Planet Earth is blue
             G             F
And there's nothing I can do

C  G A  C  G A
