  Take your protein pills and 

D7/F#
Put your helmet on

[Verse]

C                                E7
This is ground control to Major Tom
                         F
You've really made the grade
        Fm              C    
And the papers want to know
                  F
 Whose shirt you wear

         Fm          
Now it's time to leave
      C              F
 The capsule if you dare

  C                              E
This is Major Tom to ground control

                          F
I'm stepping through the door

         Fm           
And I'm floating in a 

 C             F
Most peculiar way

         Fm        
And the stars look 
      C           F
Very different today
 
[Chorus]

    Fmaj7     Em
For here am I sitting in a tin can

Fmaj7         Em
Far above the world

Bb              Am       
Planet Earth is blue and 

        G             F
There's nothing I can do

[Verse]

C                                      E7
Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
                   F
I'm feeling very still

       Fm                
And I think my spaceship 

 C                  F
Knows which way to go

         Fm             
Tell my wife I love her 

 C             F
Very much she knows
 
[Bridge]

G                 E7                 
Ground control to Major Tom,
      Am 
 Your circuit's dead,   

        C/G
There's something wrong

        D7/F#
Can you hear me Major Tom?
        C
Can you hear me Major Tom?
        G
Can you hear me Major Tom? Can you...
 
[Chorus]

Fmaj7     Em
Here am I floating 

'Round my tin can

Fmaj7         Em
Far above the Moon

Bb              Am       
Planet Earth is blue and 
        G             F
There's nothing I can do
