[Verse 1]

Gm                                C
She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Gm              C
Zero hour, nine A.M.
Eb               Bb/D  Cm Cm/Bb                  F/A  F
And I'm gonna be high -i-high       as a kite by then
Gm                          C
I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife
Gm                 C
It's lonely out in space
Eb          Bb/D  Cm Cm/Bb         F/A  F
For such a ti - i -imeless flight  time gonna will


[Chorus]

Bb                     Ab             Eb/G
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
                                        Bb
Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
            Ab                     Eb/G
I'm not the man they think I am at home
                     C
Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
Eb                                      Bb     Eb
Rocket man, burnin' out his fuse up here alone





[Verse 1]

Gm                                C
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
                                        G
Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
                                   C
I'm not the man they think I am at home
           G/B       A9
Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
C                                   G           C
Rocket man, burnin' out his fuse up here alone





[Verse 2]

Gm                            C
Mars ain't the kinda place to raise your kids
Gm                     C9
In fact it's cold as hell
Eb                 Bb/D     Cm Cm/Bb          F/A  F
And there's no one there to raise them if you did

So Baby don't do it
Gm                     C
And all this science, I don't understand
Gm               C
It's just my job five days a week
       Eb  Bb/D Cm Cm/Bb       F/A  F
Rocket man aaa  a  an    I'm a rocket man baby

Yes I am yes I am yes I am


[Chorus 2]

Bb                     Ab             Eb/G
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
                                        Bb
Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
            Ab                     Eb/G
I'm not the man they think I am at home
                     C
Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
Eb                                      Bb     Eb
Rocket man, burnin' out his fuse up here alone


[Chorus 3]

Bb                     Ab             Eb/G
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
                                        Bb
Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
            Ab                     Eb/G
I'm not the man they think I am at home
                     C
Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
Eb                                      Bb     Eb
Rocket man, burnin' out his fuse up here alone
