Intro
Verse
Ground control to Major Tom, ground control to Major Tom
Lock your Soyuz hatch and put your helmet on
Ground control to Major Tom, commencing countdown engines on
Detach from station and may God's love be with you
Chorus
This is ground control to Major Tom you've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirt you wear
But it's time to guide the capsule if you dare
This is Major Tom to ground control, I’ve left forevermore
And I'm floating in a 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 left to do
Instrumental
Chorus
Though I've flown one hundred thousand miles I'm feeling very still
And before too long I know it’s time to go
Our commander comes down back to earth, and knows
Ground control to Major Tom the time is near, there’s not too long
Can you ]hear me Major Tom?
Can you hear me Major Tom?
Can you hear me Major Tom?
Can you
Bridge
hear am I floating in a tin can last glimpse of the world
Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing left to do
