Rocket Man - Elton John

[Verse 1]
Em7                                 A9    
She packed my bags last night - pre-flight
Em7             A9  
Zero hour, nine A.M.
C                G/B     Am    Am/G              D/F#D
And I'm gonna be high -i-high       as a kite by then
Em7                         A9          
I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife
Em7                A9                                         
It's lonely out in space                                   ^ ^
C         G/B     Am            Am/G D/F# D/A D C
On such a ti - i -imeless flight

[Chorus]
G                                     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
G                                     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]
Em7                           A9             
Mars ain't the kinda place to raise your kids
Em7                  A9  
In fact it's cold as hell
C                  G/B      Am         Am/G         D/F# D/A D
And there's no one there to raise them       if you did
Em7                                A9   
And all this science, I don't understand
Em7                          A9  
It's just my job five days a week
       C     G           Am    Am/G        D/F# D/A D
