Rocket Man

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 as this 
 
G C 
CHORUS: And I think it‘s gonna be a long long time 
G 
Til touchdown brings me ‘round 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, burnin‘ out his up here alone 
 
Em7 A9 
Mars ain‘t the kinda 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 did 
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 
Rocket man - - - rocket man 
 
G C 
CHORUS: And I think it‘s gonna be a long long time 
G 
Til touchdown brings me ‘round 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, burnin‘ out his up here alone 
C G 
And I think it‘s gonna be a long long time 
C G 
And I think it‘s gonna be a long long time
