 Take your protein pills and put your helmet on

 Ground control to Major Tom
C                              Em
 Commencing countdown, engines on
Am     Am7              D7
 Check ignition and may Gods love be with you
 
C                               E7
This is ground control to Major Tom
                       F
You’ve really made the grade
        Fm             C                     F
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
        Fm                C              F
Now its time to leave the capsule if you dare

This is Major Tom to ground control

I’m stepping through the door
        Fm            C             F
And I’m floating in a most peculiar way
        Fm              C           F
And the stars look very different today
 
    Fmaj7
For here
     Em
Am I sitting in a tin can
Fmaj7         Em
Far above the world
Bb              Am
Planet earth is blue
            G             F
And there’s nothing I can do
 
C  F  G  A  A    2x
 
Fmaj7  Em  A  C  D  E
 
C                                    E7
Though I’m past one hundred thousand miles
                 F
I’m feeling very still
      Fm                 C                  F
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
        Fm              C             F
Tell me wife I love her very much she knows
 
G                 E7
Ground control to Major Tom
     Am                     Am7
Your circuits dead, there’s something wrong
        D7
Can you hear me, Major Tom? 
        C
Can you hear me, Major Tom? 
        G
Can you hear me, Major Tom? 
 
Can you....

Planet earth is blue

And there’s nothing I can do

Cool tab, thanks! One part missing, I think, the short instrumental part before the solo: C F G A A This interlude AND the solo are repeated at the end of the song and then faded on the final E chord. This might be added for the people who use autoscroll. Happy New Year!

Awesome :) Thanks!

Thank you! My friend and I are rehearsing this one. Fun sing along. Thanks again Pencom
