[Intro]:
A E D E
[Verse]
A E
A Friday night affair
D E
Out in the city heat
A E
Always a party there
D E
Along the sordid street
F C
And it was guaranteed
G D
The place to be was Rocketown
[Verse]
A E
The drinks were two for one
D E
Inside the crowded bars
A E
The girls would make their run
A E
Down on the boulevard
F C
It was the idol place
G D
We lived the ways of Rocketown
F C
Hang around by the street light
G D
In the heart of the night life
A E
There came a certain man
D E
A stranger to the crowd
A E
We didn't understand
D E
What he was all about
F C
He walked a different pace
G C
So out of place in Rocketown
[Verse]
A E
They made a fool of him
D E
They teased him when he'd speak
A E
But when they knocked him down
D E
He turned the other cheek
F C
He told me I could find
G D
A life outside of Rocketown
F C
Hang around by the street light
G D
In the heart of the night life
[Chorus]
F
What was his mission
Am
Where was he going
Dm C G
Why was his heart light always glowing?
F
All I was missing
Am
He stood there holding
Dm
What was his secret
C G
Could I know it?
[Verse]
A E
Some didn't like him near
D E
Some laughed and turned away
A E
But me, I longed to hear
D E
All that he had to say
F C
He had a peace of mind
G D
I couldn't find in Rocketown
F C
And when I reached down inside me
G D
I could feel the emptiness
[Chorus]
F
What was his mission
Am
Where was he going
Dm C G
Why was his heart light always glowing?
F
All I was missing
Am
He stood there holding
Dm
What was his secret
C G
Could I know it?
[Verse]
A E
He said it's in the heart
D E
This change that comes to be
A E
Now he had done his part
D E
The rest was up to me
F C
As we were standing there
G D
He said a prayer for Rocketown
F C
As we were standing there
G D
He said a prayer for Rocketown
F C
He walked off silently
G D
And prayed for me
A
And Rocketown...
