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
