Space Oddity Lyrics

Intro: Fmaj7 Em Fmaj7 Em Fmaj7 Em
Ground control to Major Tom Ground control to Major Tom
Lock your Soyuz hatch and put your helmet on
Ground control to Major Tom commencing countdown engines on
Detach from station and may God's love be with you
This is ground control to Major Tom you've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirt you wear
But it's time to guide the capsule if you dare
This is Major Tom to ground control I've left for evermore
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here am I sitting in a tin can far above the world
Planet earth is blue and there's nothing left to do
Though I've flown one hundred thousand miles I'm feeling very still
And before too long I know it's time to go
Our commander comes down back to earth and knows
Ground control to Major Tom the time is near there's not too long
Can you hear me Major Tom? Can you hear me Major Tom? Can you hear me Major Tom?
Can you hear am I floating in my tin can last glimpse of the world
Planet earth is blue and there's nothing left to do
