A Day In The Space Oddity

[G Bm   Em Em7 Em]
[C  C]

[G           Bm            Em Em7 Em]
I read the news today oh boy
[C        Em                       Am  Am7   Am]
About a lucky man who made the grade
[G               Bm              Em]
And though the news was rather sad
[C       F                Em]
Well I just had to laugh
[C         F         Em]
I saw the photograph

[G           Bm            Em Em7 Em]
He blew his mind out in a car
[C        Em                       Am  Am7   Am]
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
[G               Bm              Em]
A crowd of people stood and stared
[C       F                Em]
They'd seen his face before
[Em                                                 C]
Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords

[G           Bm            Em Em7 Em]
I saw a film today oh boy
[C        Em                       Am  Am7   Am]
The English Army had just won the war
[G               Bm              Em]
A crowd of people turned away
[C       F                Em]
But I just had to look

[Em              C]
Having read the book

[C            Bm       G       Am7    Em]
I'd love to turn.... you.... on....

I'm stepping through the door
         [Fm            C             F]

I'm feeling very still
       [Fm                 C                  F]
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
         [Fm              C             F]
((Tell my wife I love her very much)) she knows

{(subtle harmony)}
[G                 E7              Am]
Ground control to Major Tom, your circuit's dead,
       [C/G]
there's something wrong
        [D/F#]
Can you hear me Major Tom?

{A DAY IN THE LIFE:}
[E                                                   A]
Woke up, fell out of bed, dragged a comb across my head
[E]
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up, I noticed I was late
[E                                                          A]
Found my coat and grabbed my hat, made the bus in seconds flat
[E]
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream

[C   G   D   A   E   C   G   D   A]
Ahhh....

[E D C D G]     

[G           Bm            Em Em7 Em]
I heard the news today oh boy
[C        Em                       Am  Am7   Am]
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
[G               Bm              Em]
And though the holes were rather small
[C       F                Em]
They had to count them all
[Em                                                 C]
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
[C            Bm       G       Am7    Em]
I'd love to turn... you... on...
