Rocket Man
Elton John
Capo on 3rd fret
Em7 A
She packed my bags last night, pre- flight
Em7 A
Zero hour, nine A.M.
C G Am D
And I’m gonna be high as a kite by then
Em7 A
I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife
Em7 A
It’s lonely out in space
C G Am D
On such a timeless flight
G C
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
G
Til touchdown brings me ’round again to find
C
I'm not the man they think I am at home
G A
Oh no, no, no, I’m a rocket man
C G
Rocket man, burnin’ out his fuse up here alone
Em7 A
Mars ain’t the kinda place to raise your kids
Em7 A
In fact it’s cold as hell
C G Am D
And there’s no one there to raise them if you did
Em7 A
And all this science, I don't under stand
Em7 A
It’s just my job five days a week
C G Am D
Rocket man rocket man
G C
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 A
Oh no, no, no, I’m a rocket man
C G
Rocket man, burnin’ out his fuse 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
C G
(slow) And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
