Ashes to Ashes
INTRO
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 F
They got a message from the action man, "I'm happy hope you're happy too
G E/G#
I've loved all I've needed love, sordid details following"
A E
The shrieking of nothing is killing, just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis
G D
And I ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair
C Em
But I'm hoping to kick, but the planet is glowing
CHORUS
F G C Am
Ashes to Ashes, funk to funky, we know Major Tom's a junky
F G Am
Strung out in heaven's high, hitting an all time low
INSTRUMENTAL
G Dm Am Am G Dm Am
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#
One flash of light, but no smoking pistol
A
I've never done good things
E G D
I've never done bad things I never did anything out of the blue, woah-a-wo
F C
I want an axe to break the ice, I want to come down right now
CHORUS
F G C Am
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky, we know Major Tom's a junky
F G Am
Strung out in heaven's high, hitting an all time low
G/// Dm/// Am///
OUTRO
Am G Dm Am
My mama said to get things done, you'd better not mess with Major Tom
REPEAT AND FADE
