[Verse] (Am Am Dm G x2) - F Dm (Am Am)

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] Em Em - (C G Dm F 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        (Am Am x5)

Starting to collect requested data     (D  D

What will it affect when all is done    Am Am 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                          (Am Am)

                  [Verse] (/Am Am Em Em)

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)
