Lyrics
Ground Control to Major Tom,
Ground Control to Major Tom:
(Am)Take your (Am7)protein pills and (D7)put your helmet on.
(C)Ground Control to Major Tom:
Commencing countdown.
Engines (Em)on.
(Am)Check (Am7)ignition and may (D7)God's love be with (C9)you.
(C)This is Ground Control to Major Tom:
You've really made the grade!
And the papers want to know whose culi you (F)wear.
Now it's stars to leave the (C)capsule if you (F)dare.
For (C)This is Major Tom to Ground Control:
I'm stepping thro' the door,
and I'm floating in a most pe culiar (F)way.
And the stars look very (C)different (F)today.
For (Fmaj7)here am I (Em7)sitting in a tin can (Fmaj7)far above the world.
(Bbmaj7)Planet Earth is (Am9)blue and there's (G9)nothing I can (F)do.
(C)Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles,
I'm feeling very 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 knows."
(G)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...
(Fmaj7)Here am I (Em7)floating 'round my tin can (Fmaj7)far above the moon.
(Bbmaj7)Planet Earth is (Am9)blue and there's (G9)nothing I can (F)do.
(C)Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles,
I'm feeling very 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 knows."
(G)Ground Control to (E7)Major Tom:
Your (Am)circuit's dead.
There's (Am7)something wrong.
Can you (D7)hear me, Major Tom?
