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

And I'm floating in a most peculiar way

And the stars look very different today
 
[Chorus]
    Fmaj7     Em
For here am I sitting in a tin can
Fmaj7         Em
Far above the world
Bb              Am               G             F
Planet Earth is blue 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 my wife I love her very much she knows

Can you hear me Major Tom?

Can you hear me Major Tom?
        G
Can you hear me Major Tom? Can you...

Fmaj7     Em
Here am I floating 'round my tin can
Fmaj7         Em
Far above the Moon
Bb              Am               G             F
Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do
