[Verse]
Gm C
She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Gm C C Dm
Zero hour nine a.m.
Eb Bb Cm Bb F
And I’m gonna be high... as a kite by then
Gm C
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
Gm C C Dm
It’s lonely out in space
Eb Bb Cm Bb F
On such a ti.. -meless flight
[Chorus]
Bb
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
Eb
Till touch down brings me round again to find
Bb
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Eb Bb C C Dm
Oh no no no I’m a rocket man
Eb Bb Eb
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
Bb
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
Eb
Till touch down brings me round again to find
Bb
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Eb Bb C C Dm
Oh no no no I’m a rocket man
Eb Bb Eb
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
[Verse 2]
Gm C
Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids
Gm C C Dm
In fact it’s cold as hell
Eb Bb Cm Bb F
And there’s no one there to raise them if you did
Gm C
And all this science I don’t understand
Gm C
It’s just my job five days a week
C Dm Eb Bb Cm Bb F
A rocket man.. rocket man
[Chorus]
Bb
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
Eb
Till touch down brings me round again to find
Bb
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Eb Bb C C D
Oh no no no I’m a rocket man
Eb Bb Eb
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
Bb
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
Eb
Till touch down brings me round again to find
Bb
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Eb Bb C C D
Oh no no no I’m a rocket man
Eb Bb Eb
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
[Outro]
Bb Eb
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
Bb Eb
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
Bb Eb
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
Bb Eb Bb
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
