Take your protein pills and put your helmet on

Commencing countdown, engines on

Check ignition and may Gods love be with you

You've really made the grade

And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear

Now its time to leave the capsule if you dare

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
Fmaj7 Em A C D E

Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles

I'm feeling very still

And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Fm C F
Tell me wife I love her very much she knows

Your circuits 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....
