[Verse 1]
Em
Standing there alone
The ship is waiting
Am                D
All systems are go
"Are you sure?"
    Em
Control is not convinced
But the computer
Am              D
Has the evidence
            C
No need to abort
Am              Em
  The countdown starts
Watching in a trance
The crew is certain
Am                    D
Nothing left to chance
All is working
Em
Trying to relax
Up in the capsule
Am                   D
"Send me up a drink."
            C
Jokes Major Tom
Am               Em
  The count goes on...
B
4, 3, 2, 1

[Chorus]
G       D
Earth below us
Am        C
Drifting, falling
G        D
Floating weightless
Am       C       Em
Calling, calling home...

[Verse 2]
Em
Second stage is cut
We're now in orbit
Am            D
Stabilizers up
Running perfect
Em
Starting to collect
Requested data
Am                  D
"What will it affect
            C
When all is done?"
Am             Em
  Thinks Major Tom
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
               C
We're standing by."
Am              Em
  There's no reply
B
4, 3, 2, 1

[Chorus]
G       D
Earth below us
Am        C
Drifting, falling
G        D
Floating weightless
Am       C       G      D
Calling, calling home...
Am C G D

[Verse 3]
 Em
Across the stratosphere
A final message:
Am               D
"Give my wife my love."
    Em
Then  nothing more
A D C Am Em
         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
          C
This is my home
Am    Em           B
  I'm coming home."

[Chorus]
G       D
Earth below us
Am        C
Drifting, falling
G        D
Floating weightless
Am     C
Coming home...
G       D
Earth below us
Am        C
Drifting, falling
G        D
Floating weightless
Am     C
Coming home...
G       D
Earth below us
Am        C
Drifting, falling
G        D
Floating weightless
Am      C      G      D
Coming, coming home...
