We're going [Fm] to do what [E] we can with the material that we now [C#] do and
Some of it is being considered as single material, but we'll leave that up to you to [G#m] sort out anyway
The first one is called space oddity
[Fm]

[Fm] Ground
[C#] control to [Fm] major Tom
Take
[A#m] your protein pills [D#] and put your helmet on
[C#]
[F] Eight, [D#] [Fm] seven, [C#] six, five, [Fm] four, three, [A#m] two, one
Check it, we should have a [D#] glass coffee with you

[C#]
This is ground control to major [F] Tom
You've really made [F#] the grade
And [F#m] the mailers [C#] want to know whose shirt [F#] you wear
Now [F#m] it's time to leave [C#] the capsule if [F#] you dare
[C#] This is major Tom to ground [F] control
I'm stepping through [F#] the door
And [F#m] I'm floating [C#] in a most peculiar [F#] way
And the [F#m] stars look [C#] very different [F#] today
Here am [Fm] I sitting in a tin can
[F#] Far above [Fm] the world
[B] And it all [A#m] is blue
And [G#] there's nothing I [F#] can do
[C#] [F#] [G#] [A#] [C#] Though [F#] [G#] [A#] [C#]
[Fm]

[A#] [C#]
[G]
[D#] [F]
[C#] I'm past one hundred [F] thousand miles
I'm feeling [F#] very still
And I think my [C#] spaceship knows which way [F#] to go
Tell [F#m] my wife I love [C#] her very much [F#] She knows
[F] [G#] Ground control [A] to major Tom
[A#m] Your secretary, [A#] there's something wrong
[D#] Can you hear me, major Tom?
Can [C#] you hear me, major Tom?
[G#] Can you hear me, major Tom?
Can [F#] you hear me?
[Fm] I'm a tin can
[F#] And
[Fm]
[B] it all [A#m] is blue
And [G#] there's nothing I [F#] can do
[C#] [F#] [G#] Hey!
[A#] [C#] [G#] Hey!
[A#] [F#] Here am [Fm]
I sitting [F#] in a tin can
Far above [Fm] the [A#m] world
And [F#] it all is blue
And there's nothing [Fm] I can do Bye!
