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
CGround control to Major EmTom (x2)
AmTake your Am#7protien pills and Am7put your helmetD(add9) on
CGround control to Major EmTom, Ccommencing countdown engines Emon
AmCheck ignAm#7ition, and may D(add9)gods' love be with you
CThis is Ground Control to Major EmTom
EmYou've really made the Fgrade
FAnd the Fmpapers want to Cknow who's shirts you Fwear
FNow it's Fmtime to leave the Ccapsule if you Fdare
CThis is Major Tom to ground Emcontrol
EmI'm stepping through theF door
FAnd I'm Fmfloating in the Cmost peculiar Fway
FAnd the Fmstars look very Cdifferent, toFday
F F' Em F' Em
For here am I sitting in a tin can, far above the world
DmPlanet Earth is Amblue and there's Emnothing I can Fdo
C F G A A ... C F G A A ... F' Em A C D E......
CThough I'm past one hundred thousand Emmiles
EmI'm feeling very Fstill
FAnd I Fmthink my spaceship Cknows which way to Fgo
FTell my FmWife I love her Cvery much, She Fknows!
GGround Control to EMajor Tom, your Amcircuits dead
AmThere's Am7something wrong, can you D(add9)hear me Major Tom'
D(add9)Can you Chear me Major Tom', can you Ghear 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
AmAnd there's Emnothing I can Fdo
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.
