[Em] [C] Ground Control [Em] to Major Tom, [C] Ground Control to [Em] Major Tom,
[Am] [G] Lock your Soyuz hatch [D] and put your helmet on,
[C] Ground Control to [Em] Major Tom, [C] Commencing countdown [Em] engines on,
[Am] Detach [A] from station and [D] may God's love be with you.
[C] This is Ground Control to [E] Major Tom, You've really [F] made it great,
And [Fm] the papers [C] want to know whose [F] shirts you wear,
But [Fm] it's time to [C] guide the capsule [F] if you dare.
[C] This is Major Tom to Ground [E] Control, I've left [F] forevermore,
[Fm] And I'm floating [C] in a most peculiar [F] way, And [Fm] the stars look [C] very different [F] today,
For here am [Em] I sitting in a tin can, [F] Far above [Em] the world,
[Bb] Planet [Am] Earth is blue, And [G] there's nothing left [F] to do.

[C] I've flown one hundred [E] thousand miles, I'm feeling [F] very still,
And [Fm] before too [C] long I know it's time [F] to go.
The [Fm] Commander comes [C] down back to Earth [F] and knows,
[G] Ground Control [E] to Major Tom, [Am] The time is near,
[G] There's not too long, [D] Can you hear me Major Tom?
[C] Can you hear me Major Tom?
[G] Can you hear me Major Tom?
[F] Can you hear am [Em] I floating in my tin can?
[F] A last glimpse [Em] of the world, [Bb] Planet Earth [Am] is blue,
And [G] there's nothing left [F] to do.
