Major Tom

Intro: Em A Em A Em Standing there alone The ship is waiting A All systems are go Are you sure? Em Control is not convinced But the computer Am Has the evidence Em "no need to abort" A Em The countdown starts Em Watching in a trance The crew is certain A Nothing left to chance All is working Em Trying to relax Up in the capsule A "send me up a drink" C Jokes Major Tom Em The count goes on Em 4 3 2 1 G D Earth below us Am C Drifting falling G D Floating weightless Am C Em Coming coming home... Em Second stage is cut We're now in orbit A Stabilizers up Running perfect Em Starting to collect Requested data A What will it effect C When all is done A Em Thinks Major Tom Em Back at ground control There is a problem A Go to rockets full Not responding Em "hello Major Tom Are you receiving A Turn the thrusters on C We're standing by" Em There's no reply Em 4 3 2 1 G D Earth below us Am C Drifting falling G D Floating weightless Am C G Coming coming home... D Am C Em Across the stratosphere A final message A "give my wife my love" Em A C Then nothing more Em Far beneath the ship The world is mourning A They don't realize He's alive Em No one understands But Major Tom sees A Now the life commands C This is my home Em I'm coming home G D Earth below us Am C Drifting falling G D Floating weightless Am C Em Coming home... G D Earth below us Am C Drifting falling G D Floating weightless Am C Em Coming home... G D Earth below us Am C Drifting falling G D Floating weightless Am C Coming coming home... G D Home..... Am C Oh oh oh oh G D Oh oh oh oh Am C Oh oh oh oh fade
