Space Oddity

(piano playing) Commander Hadfield (singing): Ground control to major Tom Ground control to major Tom Lock your Soyuz hatch and put your helmet on Ground control to major Tom Commencing countdown, engines on Detach from Station, and may god's love be with you (piano playing) (music swells) This is ground control to major Tom, you've really made the grade And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear But it's time to guide the capsule if you da-a-a-are This is major Tom to ground control, I've left forevermore And I'm floating in a most peculiar way And the stars look very different toda-a-a-ay For here am I sitting in a tin can Far above the world Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing left to do (acoustic guitar riff) (music swells) Though I've flown one hundred thousand miles I'm feeling very still And before too long I know it's time to go Our Commander comes down back to earth and knows Ground control to major Tom, The time is near, there's not too long Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you... Here am I floating in my tin can Last glimpse of the world Planet Earth is blue, and there's nothing left to do (acoustic guitar riffs) (instrumental)
