Verse 1:

G  
  Do you remember a guy who's been
Em
   In such an early song oh oh
C                              D
  I've got a rumor from Ground Control

Oh no don't say it's true
Fmaj7
      I got a message from the Action Man
C         Em                F
I'm happy hope you're happy too
                             G
I've loved all I've needed love
         E
Sordid details following
A
  The shrieking of nothing is killing me
E
  Just the Jap girls in synthesis and I
G                                         D
  I ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair
Fmaj7
      But I'm hoping to kick off this planet
     C                               Em
It's glowing glowing glowing glowing glowing

Chorus:

F              G
Ashes to ashes funk to funky
C             Am
We know Major Tom's a junkie
F                      G
Strung out in heaven's high
           Am       G    Dsus2   Am
Hitting an all-time low

Verse 2:

G
  Time and again I tell myself
Em
   I'll stay clean tonight
C                                           D
  But the little green wheels are following me

Oh no not again
Fmaj7
      I'm stuck with a valuable friend
C         Em                F
I'm happy hope you're happy too

Well just one flash of light
G               E
But no smoking pistol
A
  I never done good things
E
  I never done bad things
G                                 D
  I never did anything out of the blue woh-o-oh
Fmaj7
      Want an axe to break the ice
       C                     Em
Well I wanna come down right now

Chorus:

F                G
  Ashes to ashes funk to funky
C             Am
We know Major Tom's a junkie
F                      G
Strung out in heaven's high
Am                  G    Dsus2  Am
Hitting an all-time low

Ending:

G               Dm
My mama said to get things done
      Am                   G
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
Dm              Am
My mama said to get things done
      G                    Dm
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
Am              G
My mama said to get things done
      Dm                   Am
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
Am              G
My mama said to get things done
      Dm                   Am
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
