Lyrics and Chords


Ground control to Major Tom
Ground control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills
And put your helmet on

/ C - Em - / / Am Am7 / D7 - /

10
Ground control to Major Tom
9 - 8 - 7 - 6
Commencing countdown, engines on
5 - 4 - 3 - 2
Check ignition
1
And may God's love be with you
Liftoff

This is ground control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know
Whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule
If you dare

/ C - E7 / - F - / Fm C F - / /

This is Major Tom to ground control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in the most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here

... / Fmaj7 - /

Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

/ Em7 - / Fmaj7 Em7 / Bb Am / G F /
Solo: / CF G A / / Fmaj7 Em7 A C D9 E7 /

Though I'm past 100,000 miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my space ship knows
Which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much
She knows

Ground control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me Major Tom (3x)
Can you hear

/ G E7 / Am Am7 / D7 - / C - / G - / Fmaj7 - /

Am I floating round my tin can
Far above the moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do
