[/] [C] This is ground con- [/] trol to Major [/] [E7] Tom
You've [/] [E7] really made the [/] [F] grade [/] [F]  
And the [/] [Fm] papers want to [/] [C] know whose shirt you [/] [F] wear [/] [F]  
Now it's [/] [Fm] time to leave the [/] [C] capsule if you [/] [F] dare [/] [F]  
[/] [C] This is Major [/] Tom to ground con- [/] [E7] trol
I'm [/] [E7] stepping through the [/] [F] door [/] [F]  
And I'm [/] [Fm] floating in a [/] [C] most peculiar [/] [F] way [/] [F]  
And the [/] [Fm] stars look very [/] [C] different to- [/] [F] day [/] [F]
