[Em7] She packed my bags last night - pre-[A9]flight
[Em7] Zero hour, nine A.[A9]M.
[C] And I'm gonna be [G/B]high [Am]as a [Am/G]kite by [D/F#]then
[Em7] I miss the earth so much, I miss my [A9]wife
[Em7] It's lonely out in [Asus]space
[C] On such a [G/B]time[Am]less [Am/G]flight[D/F#]

{soc}
[G] And I think it's gonna be a long long [C]time
Till touchdown brings me 'round again to [G]find
I'm not the man they think I am at [C]home
Oh no, no, [G/B]no, I'm a [A7]rocket man
[C]Rocket man, burnin' out his fuse up [G]here alone
{eoc}

Mars ain't the kinda place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science, I don't understand
It's just my job five days a-week
Rocket man - - - rocket man

{soc}
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Till touchdown brings me 'round to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
[C]Rocket man, burnin' out his fuse up [G]here alone[G7]
{eoc}

[C] And I think it's gonna be a [G]long long time[G7]
[C] And I think it's gonna be a [G]long long time[G7]
[C] And I think it's gonna be a [G]long long time
