Rocket Man

Em7 A9

She packed my bags last night - pre-flight

Em7 A9

Zero hour, nine A.M.

C G/B Am Am/G D/F# D

And I'm gonna be high -i-high as a kite by then

Em7 A9

I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife

Em7 A9

It's lonely out in space ^ ^

C G/B Am Am/G D/F# D/A D C

On such a ti - i -imeless flight

[Chorus] 2X

G C

And I think it's gonna be a long long time

G

Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find

C

I'm not the man they think I am at home

G/B A9

Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man

C G C

Rocket man, burnin' out his fuse up here alone

[Verse 2]

Em7 A9

Mars ain't the kinda place to raise your kids

Em7 A9

In fact it's cold as hell

C G/B Am Am/G D/F# D/A D

And there's no one there to raise them if you did

Em7 A9

And all this science, I don't under stand

Em7 A9

It's just my job five days a week

C G Am Am/G D/F# D/A D

Rocket man -aaa -a -a- an rocket man

[Chorus] 2X

G C

And I think it's gonna be a long long time

G

Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find

C

I'm not the man they think I am at home

G/B A9

Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man

C G C

Rocket man, burnin' out his fuse up here alone

[Outro]

C G

And I think it's gonna be a long long time

C G

And I think it's gonna be a long long time
