Key:
Fm Ab [Verse 1]
C Em Little wendy cocaine stumbles up the hill to pain
F Ab C Am Nothing stops the go-to girl, nothing takes the place of taking aim
C Em Little wendy's out there shaking hips and cuckoo eyes
F Crazy drives that dizzy crowd
Ab C Am Moonlight strokes the highlights in her hair [Chorus]
Am F She sells and moves and finds my hand
Bb F And pulls me down and close so I can hardly stand
F Bb F As I lay like dead for her, I'm fed into my head I'm led, oh, I am sand
Continues after the ad
B Bb I'm crawling from the window, crawling down the wall
F I'm happy screaming, yes, I am
B I'm jumping on her daisy chain
Bb F I'm speeding through the dancehall like a rocket man [Verse 2]
C Em Now I wish today that yesterday was just tomorrow and
F I could squeeze her grabby hand
Ab C Am Knowing that I never paid her for a gram
F She's a drunken doxy off her trolly
Bb F Sent before her time into this poxy world
F Bb She's not fit for anything but dealing it
F While heaven sings, I have this girl
B She's got me eating rice and beans
Bb F I have no shape nor color, I'm god's lonely man
B Bb I don't want to die but I don't want to live
F I'm speeding like a rocket man (Middle 8)
F Bb F Bb F B Bb [Other]
F B Bb Like a rocket man
F Bb Like a rocket man
F Bb F Like a rocket man
