Michael W. Smith – Rocketown (Guitar)

A        E     D 
A Friday night affair 

           E    A 
Out in the city heat 

         E       D 
Always a party there 

          E      F 
Along the sordid street 

           C      G 
And it was guaranteed 

             D      A         E   D   E 
The place to be was Rocketown 

A               E       D 
The drinks were two for one 

           E        A 
Inside the crowded bars 

                E          D 
The girls would make their run 

            E     F 
Down on the boulevard 

            C    G 
It was the idol place 

             D       A         E  A  G 
We lived the ways of Rocketown 

F                  C/E          Dm 
Hang around by the street light 

                    E          A  E  D  E  A  E  D  E 
In the heart of the night life 

A            E        D 
There came a certain man 

           E       A 
A stranger to the crowd 

          E     D 
We didn't understand 

            E    F 
What he was all about 

            C         G 
He walked a different pace 

          D        A         E   D   E 
So out of place in Rocketown 

A           E       D 
They made a fool of him 

                E         A 
They teased him when he's speak 

              E           D 
But when they knocked him down 

              E      F 
He turned the other cheek 

           C       G 
He told me I could find 

           D       A        E  A  G 
A life outside of Rocketown 

F                  C/E         Dm
Hang around by the street light 

                    E 
In the heart of the night life 

F 
What was his mission 

E      E/G#     Am 
Where    was he going 

F                        G      G#dim 
Why was his heart light always glowing? 

F 
All I was missing 

E   E/G#        Am 
He stood there holding 

 F 
What was his secret 

G            G#dim    A   E  D  E  A   E  D  E 
Could I know it? 

A           E        D 
Some didn't like him near 

                 E       A 
Some laughed and turned away 

           E        D 
But me, I longed to hear 

            E       F 
All that he had to say 

         C         G 
He had a peace of mind 

           D        A         E  A  G 
I couldn't find in Rocketown 

F                       C/E       Dm 
And when I reached down inside me 

                     E 
I could feel the emptiness 

A            E       D 
He said it's in the heart 

                 E        A 
This change that comes to be 

            E        D 
Now he had done his part 

             E     F 
The rest was up to me 

           C         G 
As we were standing there 

                D     A         E  A  G 
He said a prayer for Rocketown 

            C        G 
As we were standing there 

                D     A         E  A  G 
He said a prayer for Rocketown 

              C     G 
He walked off silently 

               D 
And prayed for me 

     A                  E   D   E        A   E  D  E 
And Rocketown...
