[Verse] (Fm Fm Bbm D# x2) - C# Bbm (Fm Fm)

Standing there alone, the ship is waiting

All systems are go, are you sure

Control is not convinced but the computer

Has the evidence, no need to abort    ╔══════════

The countdown starts - …              ║   Major

Watching in a trance, the crew is certain  Tom

Nothing left to chance, all is working   (Coming

Trying to relax, up in the capsule    ║   Home)

Send me up a drink jokes Major Tom    ║   Peter

The count goes on                     ║ Schilling

[Hook] Cm Cm - (G# D# Bbm C# x2) - ([Intro] (x3~2))

4, 3, 2, 1 - Earth below us - Drifting, falling

Floating weightless - (Calling, calling home)

Second stage is cut, we're now in orbit   [Intro]

Stabilizers up, running perfect        (Fm Fm x5)

Starting to collect requested data     (Bb  Bb

What will it affect when all is done    Fm Fm x2)

Thinks Major Tom - …

Back at ground control, there is a problem

Go to rockets full, not responding

Hello Major Tom, are you receiving         [Hook]

Turn the thrusters on, we're standing by     (x4)

There's no reply                          (Fm Fm)

                  [Verse] (/Fm Fm Cm Cm)

Across the stratosphere, a final message

Give my wife my love - Then nothing more - … - …

Far beneath the ship, the world is mourning

They don't realize he's alive

No one understands but Major Tom sees    [Hook

Now the light commands,               Lines #2~5]

    this is my home       ((Coming x1~2) (home/

I'm coming home        (Ho-o-ome - … x4))) (x2~1)
