[Verse 1]
Em7                             A9
   She packed my bags last night pre-flight

Em7                   A9  G/B
   Zero hour nine a.m

C                  G/B  Am7     Am7/G           D/F#   D
  And I'm gonna be high            as a kite by then

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

Em7                     A9  G/B
   It's lonely out in space

C            G/B        Am7        Am7/G  D/F#   D
  On such a ti-i-i-imeless flight
[Chorus]
G                                        C
 And I think it's gonna be a long long time

C                                           G
Till touch down brings me round again to find

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

           G/B       A         G/B
Oh no, no, no I'm a rocket man

C                                   G       Gsus4  C  Cadd9
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

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

C                                           G
Till touch down brings me round again to find

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

           G/B       A         G/B
Oh no, no, no I'm a rocket man

C                                   G       Gsus4  C  Cadd9

[Verse 2]
Em7                               A9
   Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids

Em7                         A9   G/B
   In fact it's cold as hell

C                     G/B      Am7       Am7/G          D/F#   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

   G/B   C  G/B Am7  Am7/G            D/F#  D
A rocket ma-a-a-an,       a rocket man
[Chorus]
G                                         C
  And I think it's gonna be a long long time
