Standing there alone, the ship is 
waiting.
Am                D
All systems are go: "are you sure?"
Em
Control is not convinced, but the 
computer

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.

Trying to relax up in the capsule
Am                  D            
"Send me up a drink", jokes Major

              Em
The count goes on...

Earth below us, drifting, falling.

Floating weightless, calling, 
    C             Em
calling home...

Second stage is cut, we're now in

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

             Em
There's no reply.

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         
"Now the light commands, this is 
   C   Am
my home,
           Em
I'm coming home."
