      She packed my bag last night pre - flight,

C#m7                    F#
      Zero hour - 9  a. m.,

A                    C#m7  F#m                 B
    And I'm gonna be high----- ...as a kite by then
[Verse 2]
C#m7                             F#
     I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife,

C#m7                    F#m
     It's lonely out in space,

A              C#m7  F#m                 B
     On such a time-------less flight
[Chorus]
E                                         A
   And I think it's gonna be a long, long time,

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

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

E                    A           F#m
    Ah, no, no, no,     ...I'm a rocket man,

A                                       E           Esus4
Rocket man, burning out his fuse  ...up here alone
[Verse 3]
C#m7                                  F#
      Mars ain't the kind of place to raise the kids,

C#m7                        F#m
      In fact, it's cold as hell,

A                      C#m7     F#m                B
    And there's no one there to raise them, if you did
[Verse 4]
C#m7                               F#
      And all the science, I don't understand,

C#m7                               F#
      It's just my job five days a week,

         A   C#m7  F#m                 B
A rocket man------------,  ...a rocket man
