"Rocket Man" by Elton John and Bernie Taupin



Verse 1:


[Em]She packed my bags last night, pre-[A]flight

[Em]Zero hour, nine [A]AM

[C]And I'm gonna be [G]high as a [Am]kite by [D]then

[Em]I miss the earth so much, I [A]miss my wife

[Em]It's lonely out in [A]space

[C]On such a [G]timeless [Am]flight [D]


Chorus:


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

Til touchdown brings me 'round to [G]find

I'm not the man they think I am at [C]home

Oh no, no, [G]no, I'm a [A]rocket man

[C]Rocket man, burnin' out his fuse up [G]here alone


Verse 2:


[Em]Mars ain't the kinda place to [A]raise your kids

[Em]In fact it's cold as [A]hell

[C]And there's no one [G]there to [Am]raise them if you [D]did

[Em]And all this science, I don't under[A]stand

[Em]It's just my job five days a [A]week

[C]Rocket [G]man [Am]rocket [D]man


Chorus:


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

Til touchdown brings me 'round to [G]find

I'm not the man they think I am at [C]home

Oh no, no, [G]no, I'm a [A]rocket man

[C]Rocket man, burnin' out his fuse [G]up here alone

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

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