This is ground control to Major Tom

You’ve really made the graade
        Fm             C                     F
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
        Fm                C              F
Now its time to leave the capsule if you dare
 

This is Major Tom to ground control
I’m stepping through the door
And I’m floating in a most peculiar.. waay
And the stars look very different..  todaay ↑

Faaar above the world

Planet earth is blue
            G             F
And there’s nothing I can do

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 me wife I love her very much she knows ↑
