    This document contains the lyrics to the song "Space Oddity" by David Bowie. The song tells the story of Major Tom, a astronaut speaking with Ground Control as he floats away from Earth in his spacecraft. Over the course of the song, Major Tom describes preparing for launch, moving through the different stages of his journey, floating peacefully above the planet, and eventually losing contact with Ground Control as something goes wrong with his ship's circuitry. The lyrics are interspersed with instrumental sections that mimic the sounds and feelings of floating alone in space.

    Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare

    [Chorus]
    Fmaj7 Em

    Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do

    Tell my wife I love her very much she knows

    G E7 Am C/G
    Ground control to Major Tom, your circuit's dead, there's something wrong

    Can you hear me Major Tom? Can you...

    [Chorus]
    Fmaj7 Em
    Here am I floating 'round my tin can

    Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do
