[Intro]
(Am G Dm ) x4
Am G Dm Am
[Versetto]
G 
  Do you remember a guy that's been
Em7 
In such an early song
C 
I've heard a rumour from Ground Control
D 
Oh no, don't say it's true
F 
They got a message from the Action Man
C          Em                F 
I'm happy, hope you're happy too
                           G 
I've loved and I've needed love
          E/G# 
Sordid details following
A 
The shrieking of nothing is killing me
    E 
Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and I
G                                     D 
Ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair
F                                        C     Em 
But I'm hoping to kick but the planet is glowing
[Ritornello]
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    Dm 
Hitting an all-time low
[Strumentale]
(Am G Dm ) x4 
Am G Dm Am
[Versetto]
G 
Time and again I tell myself
Em7 
I'll stay clean tonight
C                                         D 
But the little green wheels are following me
D 
Oh no, not again
F 
I'm stuck with a valuable friend
C           Em                F 
I'm happy, hope you're happy too
                    G                   E/G# 
One flash of light  but no smoking pistol
A 
I've never done good things
E 
I've never done bad things
G                                D 
I never did anything out of the blue, woh-oh-oh
F 
Want an axe to break the ice
C                     Em 
Wanna come down right now
[Ritornello]
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    Dm   Am   G 
Hitting an all-time low
[Ponte]
Dm                Am 
My mother said to get things done
      G                    Dm 
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
Am                G 
My mother said to get things done
      Dm                   Am 
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
G                 Dm 
My mother said to get things done
      Am                   G 
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
Dm                Am 
My mother said to get things done
      G                    Dm 
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
