[Verse]
Gm7                           C9
She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Gm7               C9
Zero hour, nine a.m.
Eb               Bb/D  Cm  Cm/Bb             F/A
And I'm gonna be high           as a kite by then
Gm7                         C9
I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife
Gm7                   C9
It's so lonely out in space
Eb        Bb/D  Cm    Cm/Bb  F/A  F7
On such a timeless flight


[Chorus]
Bb                                     Eb
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
                                          Bb
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
                                   Eb
I'm not the man they think I am at home
           Bb/D      C9
Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
Eb                                    Bb
Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone
                                      (+Eb between choruses)

Bb                                     Eb
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
                                          Bb
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
                                   Eb
I'm not the man they think I am at home
           Bb/D      C9
Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
Eb                                    Bb
Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone


[Verse]
Gm7                             C9
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
Gm7                  C9
In fact it's cold as hell
Eb                 Bb/D     Cm        Cm/Bb             F/A
And there's no one there to raise them,       if you did
Gm7                          C9
And all this science I don't understand
Gm7                           C9
It's just my job, five days a week
         Eb Bb/D  Cm  Cm/Bb           F/A  F7
A rocket man,                a rocket man


[Chorus]
Bb                                     Eb
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
                                          Bb
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
                                   Eb
I'm not the man they think I am at home
           Bb/D      C9
Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
Eb                                         Bb
Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone
                                      (+Eb between choruses)

Bb                                     Eb
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
                                          Bb
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
                                   Eb
I'm not the man they think I am at home
           Bb/D      C9
Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
Eb                                    Bb
Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone
                                     (+Eb between choruses)

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
