Gm7		                                 C7          
She packed my bags last night, pre-flight     

Gm7                       C7   
Zero hour, nine a.m.   

Eb                           Bb/D Cm Cm/Bb                    F          
And I'm gonna be hi -i -igh,               as a kite by then   

Gm7                                         C7   
I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife,   

Gm7                     C7   
It's lonely out in space   

Eb             Bb/D Cm Cm/Bb    F   
On such a ti-i-imeless flight   

 

Bb                                          Eb   
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time   

					                  Bb   
'Till touchdown brings me 'round again to find   

				                     Eb   
I'm not the man they think I am at home   

                 Bb/D                C   
Oh no, no, no, I'm a Rocket Man. . . .   

Eb                                                          Bb   
Rocket Man, burning out a fuse up here alone  (2x)

Gm7                                              C7   
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids   

Gm7                      C7   
In fact its cold as hell   

Eb                           Bb/D Cm Cm/Bb                      F   
And there's no-one there to raise them, if you did   

Gm7                                          C7   
And all this science, I don't understand    

Gm7                                   C7   
It's just my job 5 days a week   

                     Eb Cm Cm/Bb                   F   
A Rocket,    ma  -an,     Rocket man  
 


Bb                                          Eb   
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time   

					                  Bb   
'Till touchdown brings me 'round again to find   

				                     Eb   
I'm not the man they think I am at home   

                 Bb/D                C   
Oh no, no, no, I'm a Rocket Man. . . .   

Eb                                                          Bb

And I thing it's gonna be a long, long time...
