Capo on 3rd fret

[Verse1]

[Em7]She packed my bags last night - pre-f[A9]pre-flight

[Em7]Zero hour, nine A.[A9]A.M.

[C]And I'm gonna be [G]high as a [Am]kite by [D]then

[Em7]I miss the earth so much, I [A9]miss my wife

[Em7]It's lonely out in s[A9]space

[C]On such a [G]timeless [Am]flight

[Chorus]

[G] And I think it's gonna be a long long[C]long time

Til touchdown brings me 'round again to [G]find

I'm not the man they think I am at [C]home

Oh no, no, [G]no, I'm a [A9]rocket man

[C]Rocket man, burnin' out his fuse up [G]here alone

[Chorus]

[G] And I think it's gonna be a long long[C]long time

Til touchdown brings me 'round again to [G]find

I'm not the man they think I am at [C]home

Oh no, no, [G]no, I'm a [A9]rocket man

[C]Rocket man, burnin' out his fuse up [G]here alone

[Verse2]

[Em7]Mars ain't the kinda place to [A9]raise your kids

[Em7]In fact it's cold as [A9]hell

[C]And there's no one t[G]there to [Am]raise them if you [D]did

[Em7]And all this science, I don't unde[A9]understand

[Em7]It's just my job five days a[A9]a-week

[C]Rocket ma[G]man -[Am]- - - rocket [D]man

[Chorus]

[G] And I think it's gonna be a long long[C]long time

Til touchdown brings me 'round again to [G]find

I'm not the man they think I am at [C]home

Oh no, no, [G]no, I'm a [A9]rocket man

[C]Rocket man, burnin' out his fuse up [G]here alone

[G] And I think it's gonna be a long long[C]long time

Til touchdown brings me 'round again to [G]find

I'm not the man they think I am at [C]home

Oh no, no, [G]no, I'm a [A9]rocket man

[C]Rocket man, burnin' out his fuse up [G]here alone

[Outro]

[C]And I think it's gonna be a [G]long long time (7x)
