VERSE:
[Ab] Do you remember a guy that's been
[Fm7] in such an early song?
[Db] I've heard a rumour from Ground Control
[Eb] Oh no, don't say it's true
[Gb] They got a message from the Action Man
[Db]I'm happy, [Fm7]hope you're happy too[Gb]
I've loved all I've needed love[Ab]
Sordid de[F7/A]tails following
BRIDGE:
[Bb] The shrieking of nothing is killing me
Just[F] pictures of Jap girls in synthesis
And I[Ab] ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair[Eb][Eb]
[Gb] But I'm hoping to kick but the planet is [Db]glowing[Fm]
CHORUS:
[Gb]Ashes to ashes, [Ab]funk to funky
[Db]We know Major Tom'[Bbm]s a junky
[Gb]Strung out in heaven's [Ab]high
Hitting an [Bbm7]all time [Ab]low[Ebm][Bbm7][Ab][Ebm]
[Bbm7] [Ab] [Ebm] [Bbm7] [Ab] [Ebm] [Ebm]
VERSE:
Time and again I tell myself
I'll stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh no, not again
I'm stuck with a valuable friend
I'm happy, hope you're happy too
One flash of light but no smoking pistol
BRIDGE:
I've never done good things
I've never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue
I want an axe to brake the ice
I want to come down right now
CHORUS
[Bbm7] [Ab]
||: Ebm Bbm7
My mama said to get things done
You'd [Ab]better not mess with [Ebm]Major Tom
[Bbm7]My mama said to [Ab]get things done
You'd [Ebm]better not mess with [Bbm7]Major Tom
[Ab]My mama said to [Ebm]get things done
You'd [Bbm7]better not mess with [Ab]Major Tom :|| (repeat to fade)
