Em                                A7
She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Em              A7
Zero hour, nine a.m.
C                C/B  Am          D
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then

Em                         A7
I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife
Em                    A7
It's so lonely out in space
C         C/B  Am    D
On such a timeless flight

G                                        C
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
                                         G
Til touch down 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 burning out his fuse up here alone
                  
G                                        C
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
                                         G
Til touch down brings me 'round again to find

Em                              A7
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
Em                   A7
In fact it's cold as hell
C                  G/B   C              D
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/B  AM  D
A rocket man, a rocket man

G                                      C
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
G                                      C
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
G                                      C
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
G                                      C
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
