    She packed my bag last night pre - flight,

Em7 Bm                   E
       Zero hour - 9  a. m.,

E6 G                   Bm7   Em7                Asus4
      And I'm gonna be high---- ...as a kite by then!
[Verse 2]
Bm                              E
    I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife,

Bm                     Em
    It's lonely out in space,

Em6  G            Bm7  Em7              A  A6
        On such a time----less flight!

'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find...

...I'm not the man they think I am at home,

[Verse 3]
Bm                                  E
    Mars ain't the kind of place to raise the kids,

Bm                       Em
    In fact it's cold as hell,

G                      Bm7      Em7                A
    And there's no one there to raise them, if you did!
[Verse 4]
Bm                                E
     And all the science, I don't understand,

Bm                                E
     It's just my job five days a week,

         G    Bm7   Em7                A6
A rocket man------------,  ...a rocket man!
