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
