Ground Control to Major Tom

Ground Control to Major Tom

Take your protein pills

 and put your helmet on

Ground Control to Major Tom

Commencing countdown,

 engines on

Check ig-nition

 and may God's love be with you

Slide this as far as D bass (thumb) for 2 bars

This is Ground Control to Major Tom

 You've really made the grade

 And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear

 Now it's 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 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 I can do

Ohhhh.......

Though I'm past

 one hundred thousand miles

 I'm feeling very still

 And I think my spaceship knows which way to go

 Tell my wife I love her very much

 she knows

Ground Control to Major Tom

 Your circuit's dead,

 there's something wrong

 Can you hear me, Major Tom?

 Can you hear me, Major Tom?

 Can you hear me, Major Tom?

Can you....

 For here and I'm

 Floating round my tin can

Far above the moon

Planet Earth is blue

 And there's nothing I can do

Ohhhh.......
