[C]   Ground control to Major [Em]Tom
[Am]   Take your [Am7]protein pills and [D]put your helmet on

[Am](2)   Check ig-[Am7](1)nition and may [D]God's love (lift off) be with you

{c:verse 2}
[C]This is ground control to Major [E7]Tom,
you've really made the [F]grade!
And the [Fm]papers want to [C]know whose shirts you [F]wear
Now it's [Fm]time to leave the [C]capsule if you [F]dare

{c:verse 3}
[C]This is Major Tom to ground con-[E7]trol,
I'm stepping through the [F]door
And I'm [Fm]floating in the [C]most peculiar [F]way
And the [Fm]stars look very [C]different to[F]day

{soc}
For [Fmaj7]here am I [Em7]sitting in a tin can,
[Fmaj7]far above the [Em7]world
[Bb]Planet Earth is [Am]blue and there's [G]nothing I can [F]do

{c:verse 4}
[C]Though I'm passed one hundred thousand [E7]miles,
I'm feeling very [F]still
And I [Fm]think my spaceship [C]knows which way to [F]go
Tell my [Fm]wife I love her [C]very much she [F]knows

{c:bridge}
[G7]Ground control to [E7]Major Tom
Your [Am]circuit's dead, there's [Am7]something wrong
Can you [D7]hear me Major Tom? Can you [C]hear me Major Tom?
Can you [G]hear me Major Tom? Can you ...

{soc}
[Fmaj7]Here am I [Em7]floating round my tin can,
[Fmaj7]far above the [Em7] moon
[Bb]Planet Earth is [Am]blue and there's [G]nothing I can [F]do
