       And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear,
                Fm                C/E            F
       now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare

       and the stars look very difeerent today

       Though I'm passed one hundred thousand miles, I'm feeling very still
             Fm                 C/E                F
       And I think my spaceship knows which way to go,
               Fm              C             F
       tell my wife I love her very much she knows
       G                 E7
       Ground control to Major Tom:
            Am                      Am7/G
       Your circuit's dead, there's something wong.
               D7
       Can you hear me Major Tom?
               C/G
       Can you hear me Major Tom?

       Here am I floating round my tin can, far above the moon
       Bbmaj7          Am               G             F
