Space Oddity, Christ Hadfield


This is a revised version of David Bowie's Space Oddity, recorded by Commander Chris Hadfield on board the International Space Station.



David Bowie – Space Oddity Lyrics

Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills [   ] and put your helmet _____on_____ (1)
Ground Control to Major Tom (Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six)
Commencing countdown, engines on (Five, Four, Three)
Check ignition [ ….. station] and ___may_______ (2) God's love be with you (Two, One, Liftoff)

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______ (3)
"This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door [I’ve left …..]
And I'm floating in the most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here am I sitting in my tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is ____blue______ (4)
And there's nothing I can do [left to do]

Though I'm past [I’ve flown] one hundred thousand miles
I'm 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______ (5) something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear? And I'm floating around my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is ____blue______ (4)
And there's nothing I can do."

Songwriters: DAVID BOWIE
