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
Eb                               Bb         Eb
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!
