Am      G       Dm      Am

[Verse]
G                                                   Em
Do you remember a guy that's been in such an early song
C                                                           D
I've heard a rumor from ground control, oh no, don't say it's true

F                                                     C             G/B
They got a message from the action man, I'm happy, hope you're happy too
F                                     G    E/G#
I've loved all I've needed love, sordid details following

A                                                      E
The shrieking of nothing is killing me, just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis
G                                                              D    C         Em
And I ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair, but the planet is glowing

[Refrain]
F                       G                        C            Am
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky, we know Major Tom's a junkie
F                                 G         Am         G      Dm     Am
Strung out in heaven's high, hitting an all time low

[Verse]
G                                 Em
Time and again I tell myself I'll stay clean tonight
C                                                           D
But the little green wheels are following me, oh no, not again

F                                       C               G/B           F
I'm stuck with a valuable friend, I'm happy, hope you're happy too
                           G                      E/G# A
One flash of light but no smoking pistol, I've never done good things

E                                 G                                     D
I've never done bad things, I've never done anything out of the blue
F                                     C
I want an axe to break the ice, I want to come down right now

[Refrain]
F                       G                   C                 Am 
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky, we know Major Tom's a junkie
F                                G     Am
Strung out in heaven's high, hitting an all time low
