[Verse]
Em
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
Has the evidence: no need to 
  Am
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             
"Send me up a drink", jokes Major 
C  Am
Tom.
              Em
The count goes on...

[Chorus]
Bm
Four, three, two, one
G         D     Am        C
Earth below us, drifting, falling.
Continues after the ad
G        D           Am   
Floating weightless, calling, 
    C             Em
calling home...

[Verse]
Em
Second stage is cut, we're now in 
orbit.
Am            D
Stabilizers up, running perfect.
Em
Starting to collect, requested data.
Am                  D             
"What will it affect, when all is 
C     Am
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    
"Turn the thrusters on, we're 
            C   Am
standing by."
             Em
There's no reply.

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

[Verse]
Em
Across the stratosphere, a final 
message:
 Am                    D
"Give my wife my love."
             Em     Am D C Am
Then nothing more.
Em
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         
"Now the light commands, this is 
   C   Am
my home,
           Em
I'm coming home."
G         D     Am        C
Earth below us, drifting, falling.
G        D           Am      C
Floating weightless, coming home
G         D     Am        C
Earth below us, drifting, falling.
G        D           Am      C
Floating weightless, coming, coming
G D Am C
