I've started playing acoustically around the local pubs in my area and found this song (my favourite Bowie Number!) seems to go down quite well.
Intro:- F` Em F` Em
C Em
Ground control to Major Tom (x2)
Am Am#7 Am7 D(add9)
Take your protien pills and put your helmet on
C Em C Em
Ground control to Major Tom, commencing countdown engines on
Am Am#7 D(add9)
Check ignition, and may gods' love be with you
C Em
This is Ground Control to Major Tom
Em F
You've really made the grade
F Fm C F
And the papers want to know who's shirts you wear
F Fm C F
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare
C Em
This is Major Tom to ground control
Em F
I'm stepping through the door
F Fm C F
And I'm floating in the most peculiar way
F Fm C F
And the stars look very different, today
F F` Em F` Em
For here am I sitting in a tin can, far above the world
Dm Am Em F
Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do
C F G A A ... C F G A A ... F` Em A C D E......
C Em
Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
Em F
I'm feeling very still
F Fm C F
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
F Fm C F
Tell my Wife I love her very much, She knows!
G E Am
Ground Control to Major Tom, your circuits dead
Am Am7 D(add9)
There's something wrong, can you hear me Major Tom?
D(add9) C G
Can you hear me Major Tom?, can you hear me Major Tom?
G F` Em
Can you...Here am I floating Round my tin can
F` Em Dm Am
Far above the World, planet Earth is blue
Am Em F
And there's nothing I can do
C F G A A ... C F G A A ... F` Em A C D E
I don't know the name of the funny F chord he plays (the one denoted F`) but it's the same as an F chord apart from the high E string is left open.
Enjoy, Andy.
