   She packed my bags last night - pre-flight

Em7                A9
   Zero hour, nine A.M.

C                  G/B     Am    Am/G              D/F#   D
  And I'm gonna be high -i-high       as a kite by then

Em7                            A9
   I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife

Em7                   A9
   It's lonely out in space                                   ^ ^

C           G/B     Am             Am/G    D/F#   D/A   D     C
  On such a ti - i -imeless 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/B       A9
Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man

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

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

                                         G

   Mars ain't the kinda place to raise your kids

Em7                      A9
    In fact it's cold as hell

C                     G/B      Am         Am/G         D/F#   D/A   D
   And there's no one there to raise them       if you did

Em7                                    A9      
    And all this science, I don't understand

Em7                              A9    
    It's just my job five days a week

       C     G           Am    Am/G        D/F#   D/A   D
Rocket man  -aaa  -a -a- an         rocket man
