SPACE ODDITY by David Bowie
INTRO 8 BARS
VERSE
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 ignition and may God’s love be with you
BREAK 3 BARS
CHORUS
This is ground control to Major Tom
You’ve really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirt you wear
Now it’s time to leave the capsule if you dare
CHORUS
This is Major Tom to ground control
I’m stepping through the door
And I’m floating in the most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
BRIDGE
For here am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there’s nothing I can do
BREAKDOWN 8 BARS
CHORUS
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
BRIDGE
Here am I floating on my tin can
Far above the moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there’s nothing I can do
BREAKDOWN SOLO OUT
