Space Oddity (Live Friars, Aylesbury, 25th September, 1971)

[Intro]
This is one of my own that we get over with as soon as possible

[Verse 1]
Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown, engines on
Check ignition and may God's love be with you

[Verse 2]
This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare
This is Major Tom to Ground Control
Stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most a-peculiar way
Now the stars look very different today

[Chorus]
For here am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is bluе
And there's nothing I can do

[Verse 3]
Though I'm past one hundrеd thousand miles
Feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much she knows
Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you?

[Chorus]
Here am I floating 'round my tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

[Outro]
Thank you
That's very good of you, thank you
