[Em]Standing there alone, the ship is waiting.
[Am]All systems are go[G]: "are you sure?"
[Em]Control is not convinced, but the computer
[Am]Has the evidence[G]: no need to abo[C]rt.[Am]
The countdown st[Em]arts.

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

[G]Floating [D]weightless, [Am]calling, [C]calling home..[Em].

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

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

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

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