G G/F# DmF E7 Am
/
It's a god-awful small affair to the girl with the mousy hair
Am/G D/F# G
But her mother is yelling "No" and her father as told her to go
G/F# DmF
/
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
E7 Am
as she walks through her sunken dream
Am/G D/F#
To the seat with the clearest view
Bb
and she's hooked to the silver screen
Bb Gm
+
But the film is a saddening bore
Ab Eb
For she's lived it ten times or more
G7 Cm Eb
She could spit in the eyes of fools as they ask her to focus on
CHORUS:
C F G
Sailors, fighting in the dance hall
Am Fm G Gm Dm
Oh man! look at those cavemen go, it's a freakest show
Fm C F G
Take a look at the Lawman, beating up the wrong guy
Am Fm G Gm Dm
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know he's in the best selling show
Fm Am C Am7D7F Gsus4D

Is there life on Mars?
D F#m D F#m
Ground control to Major Tom Ground control to Major Tom:
Bm Bm7/A E7
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
D F#m D F#m
Ground control to Major Tom: Commencing countdown engine's on
Bm Bm7/A E7
Check ig-nition and may God's love be with you
D F#m G
This is ground control to Major Tom, you've really made the grade!
Gm D/F# G
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear,
Gm D/F# G
now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare
G G/F#DmF E7 Am
/
It's on Amerika's tortured brow Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Am/G D/F# G
Now the workers have struck for fame Cause Lennon's on sale again
G/F# DmF
/
See the mice in their million hordes
E7 Am
From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads
Am/G D/F#
Rule Brittania is out of bounds
Bb
To my mother, my dog and clowns
Bb Gm
+
But the film is a saddening bore
Ab Eb
`Cause I wrote it ten times before
G7 Cm Eb
It's about to be writ again As I ask you to focus 'cuz
C E7 F
This is Major Tom to ground con-trol, I'm stepping through the door
Fm C/E F
And I'm floating in the most peculiar way
Fm C/E F
and the stars look very different today
