Standing there alone, the ship is waiting.
Am                D
All systems are go: "are you sure?"
Em
Control is not convinced, but the computer
Am              D              C  Am
Has the evidence: no need to abort.
                Em
The countdown starts. 


Em
Watching in a trance, the crew is certain.
Am                    D
Nothing left to chance, all is working.
Em
Trying to relax up in the capsule
Am                  D            C  Am          
"Send me up a drink", jokes Major Tom.
              Em
The count goes on... 


Em
Four, three, two, one
G         D     Am        C
Earth below us, drifting, falling.
G        D           Am       C             Em 
Floating weightless, calling, calling home... 


Em
Second stage is cut, we're now in orbit.
Am            D
Stabilizers up, running perfect.
Em
Starting to collect, requested data.
Am                  D             C     Am     
"What will it affect, when all is done?"
             Em
Thinks Major Tom. 


Em
Back at ground control, there is a problem.
Am                   D 
"Go to rockets full.". Not responding.
Em
"Hello Major Tom. Are you receiving?"
Am                    D                C   Am
"Turn the thrusters on, we're standing by."
             Em
There's no reply. 


Em
Four, three, two, one
G         D     Am        C
Earth below us, drifting, falling.
G        D           Am       C            Em
Floating weightless, calling, calling home... 


Em
Across the stratosphere, a final message:
 Am                    D
"Give my wife my love."
             Em     
Then nothing more.

Far beneath the ship, the world is mourning.
Am                D 
They don't realize: he's alive.
Em
No one understands, but Major Tom sees.
Am                     D            C   Am     
"Now the light commands, this is my home,
