Rocket Man

Em                                  A7
 She packed my bags last night, pre-flight
Em                  A7
  Zero hour, nine A.M.
C                  G/B   Am    Am/G              D/F#  %  %
 And I'm gonna be high-i-hiiigh as a kite by then
Em                           A7
 I miss the Earth so much, I miss my wife
Em                    A7
   It's lonely out in space
C          G/B  Am             Am/G    D/F#  %  %
 On such a ti-i-imeless flight
 
 
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       A7
Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
C                                   G           C
Rocket man, burnin' out his fuse up here alone
(ALL TWICE)
 
 
Em                               A7
   Mars ain't the kinda place to raise your kids
Em                        A7
    In fact, it's cold as hell
C                   G/B      Am        Am/G         D/F#  %  %
 And there's no one there to raise them   if you did
Em                             A7
 And all this science, I don't understand
Em                            A7
 It's just my job five days a week
       C     G   Am Am/G      D/F#  %  %
Rocket maaaa-a-a-an    rocket man
 
 
(CHORUS)
C                             G
  And I think it's gonna be a long long time (REPEAT A LOT)
