Chords

When you see the two A chords followed by a C, play this, it sounds right according to the recording, to me at least.

[Verse]

Em                           A
She packed my bags last night pre-flight

Em               A       A C 
Zero hour nine a.m.

C               G  Am              D     
And I’m gonna be high...    as a kite by then

Em                         A
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife

Em                 A       A C
It’s lonely out in space

C          G    Am               D  
On such a ti..    -meless flight
[Chorus]
G                                   
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time

C
Till touch down brings me round again to find

G
I’m not the man they think I am at home

C        G      A         A C
Oh no no no I’m a rocket man

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

G                                   
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time

C
Till touch down brings me round again to find

G
I’m not the man they think I am at home

C        G       A        A C
Oh no no no I’m a rocket man

C                                 G             C
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
[Verse 2]
Em                              A
Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids

Em                   A         A C
In fact it’s cold as hell

C                 G      Am              D 
And there’s no one there to raise them if you did

Em                             A
And all this science I don’t understand

Em                           A
It’s just my job five days a week

      C       G   Am      D
A rocket   man..        rocket man
[Chorus]
G                                   
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time

C
Till touch down brings me round again to find

G
I’m not the man they think I am at home

C         G       A            A C
Oh no no no I’m a rocket man

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

G                                   
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time

C
Till touch down brings me round again to find

G
I’m not the man they think I am at home

C         G       A            A C
Oh no no no I’m a rocket man

C                                 G          C
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
[Outro]
G                               C
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time

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

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

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