Verse 1:

Gm7                           C           Gm7            C   D
She packed my bags last night pre-flight, zero hour, 9 A.M.
Eb                Bb       Cm       F
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then...
Gm7                        C              Gm7                C     D
I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife, it's lonely out in space
Eb         Bb     Cm           F
On such a timeless flight as this....


Chorus 1: [x2]

  Bb                                    Eb                                     Bb
And I think it's gonna be a long long time, til touchdown brings me 'round to find
Bb                                    Eb             Bb      C
I'm not the man they think I am at home, oh no no no, I'm a rocket man
  Eb                                  Bb          Eb
Rocket man, burnin' out his fuse up here alone...


Verse 2:

Gm7                              C             Gm7                  C      D
Mars ain't the kinda place to raise your kids, in fact it's cold as hell
Eb                   Bb           Cm             F
And there's no one there to raise them if you did...
Gm7                               C       Gm7                       C
And all this science, I don't understand, it's just my job 5 days a week
       Eb  Bb   Cm            F
Rocket maaaaaaaaaan....rocket man


Chorus 2: [x2]

  Bb                                    Eb                                     Bb
And I think it's gonna be a long long time, til touchdown brings me 'round to find
Bb                                    Eb             Bb      C
I'm not the man they think I am at home, oh no no no, I'm a rocket man
  Eb                                  Bb          Eb
Rocket man, burnin' out his fuse up here alone...


Outro:

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