Space Oddity David Bowie
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]Ground control to Major [Em]Tom (x2)
[Am]Take your [Am#7]protien pills and [Am7]put your helmet[D(add9)] on
[C]Ground control to Major [Em]Tom, [C]commencing countdown engines [Em]on
[Am]Check ign[Am#7]ition, and may [D(add9)]gods' love be with you
[C]This is Ground Control to Major [Em]Tom
[Em]You've really made the [F]grade
[F]And the [Fm]papers want to [C]know who's shirts you [F]wear
[F]Now it's [Fm]time to leave the [C]capsule if you [F]dare
[C]This is Major Tom to ground [Em]control
[Em]I'm stepping through the[F] door
[F]And I'm [Fm]floating in the [C]most peculiar [F]way
[F]And the [Fm]stars look very [C]different, to[F]day
F F` Em F` Em
For here am I sitting in a tin can, far above the world
[Dm]Planet Earth is [Am]blue and there's [Em]nothing I can [F]do
C F G A A ... C F G A A ... F` Em A C D E......
[C]Though I'm past one hundred thousand [Em]miles
[Em]I'm feeling very [F]still
[F]And I [Fm]think my spaceship [C]knows which way to [F]go
[F]Tell my [Fm]Wife I love her [C]very much, She [F]knows!
[G]Ground Control to [E]Major Tom, your [Am]circuits dead
[Am]There's [Am7]something wrong, can you [D(add9)]hear me Major Tom?
[D(add9)]Can you [C]hear me Major Tom?, can you [G]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]And there's [Em]nothing I can [F]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.
