[Verse]
E                                       
Standing there alone the ship is waiting
A                  D             
All systems are go  are you sure
E7                      
Control is not convinced
E       E7               A        D
But the computer has the evidence 
           C    
No need to abort
A               E7    
 The countdown starts
E7                                      
Watching in a trance the crew is certain
                Am     E7 D7            
Nothing left to chance   all is working
E7              E  E7            
Trying to relax up in the capsule
Am                 D7 D     A7    C  
Send me up a drink   jokes Major Tom
A7           E7     
  The count goes on
           B7     
Four three two one
G       D       
 Earth below us
Am       C      
Drifting falling
G        D         
Floating weightless
Am      C           
Calling calling home

[Verse]
E7                  E                 
Second stage is cut we're now in orbit
A              D                
Stabilizers up  running perfect
E                             E7  
Starting to collect requested data
A7                  D7             C   
What will it effect   when all is done
A7 A            E7 
  Thinks Major Tom
E7                                       
Back at ground control there is a problem
Am                 E7  D         
Go to rockets full not responding
A7    E7                         
Hello Major Tom are you receiving
A7                    D7                A7
Turn the thrusters on   we're standing by
           E7   
There's no reply
           B7  Gb7
Four three two one


[Chorus]
G7    D       
Earth below us
Am       C      
Drifting falling
G        D         
Floating weightless
Am      C       G   
Calling calling home

E                      
Across the stratosphere
                A               D   
A final message Give my wife my love
E            A      D C
Then nothing  more  


[Verse]
A7 E7                                        
  Far beneath the ship the world is mourning
A                  D         
They don't realize he's alive
E7                 E                 
No one understands but Major Tom sees
Am            D                C  Am  
Now the light commands this is my home
E              
I'm coming home
      B G D       
Earth   below us


[Chorus]
