C E7
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
C E7
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
Fmaj7 Em7
For here am I sitting in a tin can
Fmaj7 Em7
Far above the world
Bb Am
Planet Earth is blue
G F
And there's nothing I can do
ACOUSTIC SOLO: C F G A A
C F G A A
LEAD BREAK: Fmaj7 Em7* A* C* D9 E
C E7
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 E7
Ground Control to Major Tom
Am Am7
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?
Fmaj7 Em7
Can you hear, am I floating round my tin can?
Fmaj7 Em7
Far above the Moon
Bb Am
Planet Earth is blue
G F
And there's nothing I can do
