Intro: Em Am Em Am Em Standing there alone The ship is waiting Am All systems are go Are you sure? Em Control is not convinced But the computer Am Has the evidence Em "no need to abort" Am Em The countdown starts Em Watching in a trance The crew is certain Am Nothing left to chance All is working Em Trying to relax Up in the capsule Am "send me up a drink" Em Jokes Major Tom Am Em The count goes on E 4 3 2 1 B7 Earth below us A Drifting falling E B7 Floating weightless A E Calling calling home... Em Second stage is cut We're now in orbit Am Stabilizers up Running perfect Em Starting to collect Requested data Am What will it effect Em When all is done Am Em Thinks Major Tom Em Back at ground control There is a problem Am Go to rockets full Not responding Em "hello Major Tom Are you receiving Am Turn the thrusters on Em We're standing by" Am Em There's no reply E 4 3 2 1 B7 Earth below us A Drifting falling E B7 Floating weightless A E Calling calling home... Em Across the stratosphere A final message Am "give my wife my love" Em Then nothing more Em Far beneath the ship The world is mourning Am They don't realize He's alive Em No one understands But Major Tom sees Am Now the life commands Em This is my home Am Em I'm coming home E 4 3 2 1 B7 Earth below us A Drifting falling E B7 Floating weightless A E Coming home... E 4 3 2 1 B7 Earth below us A Drifting falling E B7 Floating weightless A E Coming home... E 4 3 2 1 B7 Earth below us A Drifting falling E B7 Floating weightless A E Coming coming home... E A B7 Home..... E A B7 Oh oh oh oh E A B7 Oh oh oh oh E A B7 Oh oh oh oh fade
