Rocket Man

Em                          
She packed my bags last night 
      A7
pre-flight
Em              A7
Zero hour, nine a.m.
C                C/B  Am         
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by 
 D
then

Em                         A7
I miss the earth so much, I miss my 
wife
Em                    A7
It's so lonely out in space
C         C/B  Am    D
On such a timeless flight

G                                 
And I think it's gonna be a long, 
       C
long time
Til touch down brings me 'round 
         G
again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at 
 C
home

Oh, no no no... I'm a rocket man
C                                  
Rocket man burning out his fuse up

Em                              
Mars ain't the kind of place to 
A7
raise your kids
Em                   A7
In fact it's cold as hell
C                  G/B   C      
And there's no one there to 
        D
raise them, if you did
Em                         
And all this science I don't 
  A7
understand
Em                           A7
It's just my job, five days a week
C        G/B  AM  D
