Capo third fret

Em7                                                A9
She packed my bags last night pre flight
Em7                     A9
Zero hour nine a.m.
C                               G       Am                 D
And I’m gonna be 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       Am                 D
On such a timeless flight

G                                                                 C
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
.                                                                             G
Till touch down brings me round again to find
.                                                           C
I’m not the man they think I am at home
.                   G                A9
Oh no, no, no, I’m a rocket man
C                                                           G
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

G                                                                 C
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
.                                                                             G
Till touch down brings me round again to find
.                                                           C
I’m not the man they think I am at home
.                   G                A9
Oh no, no, no, I’m a rocket man
C                                                           G
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

Em7                                                A9
Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids
Em7                     A9
In fact it’s cold as Hell
C                               G       Am                 D
And there’s no one there to raise them if you didn’t
Em7                                                A9
And all this science, I don’t understand
Em7                                  A9
It’s just my job, five days a week
C                               G       Am                 D
A rocket man, a rocket man

G                                                                 C
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
.                                                                             G
Till touch down brings me round again to find
.                                                           C
I’m not the man they think I am at home
.                   G                A9
Oh no, no, no, I’m a rocket man
C                                                           G
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone



G                                                                 C
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
.                                                                             G
Till touch down brings me round again to find
.                                                           C
I’m not the man they think I am at home
.                   G                A9
Oh no, no, no, I’m a rocket man
C                                                           G
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

Now, I think it’s gonna be a long long time…
