Verse 1:
N.C.
She packed my bags last night, pre-flight

Zero hour: 9:00 a.m
         Bb Eb       F
And I’m gonna be high as a kite by then
Gm7              C
 I miss the Earth so much, I miss my wife
Gm7         C
 It’s lonely out in space
Eb     Bb Cm      F
 On such a timeless flight


Chorus:
Bb                    Eb
 And I think it’s gonna be a long, long time
                     Bb
‘Til touchdown brings me ‘round again to find
                  Eb
I’m not the man they think I am at home
      Bb    C
Oh, no, no, no! I’m a rocket man

Rocket man! Burning out his fuse here alone


Verse 2:
Gm7                C
 Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids
Gm7           C
 In fact, it’s cold as hell
Eb          Bb    Cm        F
 And there’s no one there to raise them if you did
Gm7               C
 And all this science I don’t understand
Gm7              C
 It’s just my job five days a week
Eb   Bb Cm    F
 Rocket maaan! Rocket man!

Oh, no, no, no! I’m a rocket man
Eb                Bb
Rocket man! Burning out his fuse here alone

 And I think it’s gonna be a long, long time
                     Bb
‘Til touchdown brings me ‘round again to find
                  Eb
I’m not the man they think I am at home
