Intro: F#5  B5  

F#5                                             B5  
She packed my bag last night, preflight  
F#5                     B5  
Zero hour, nine a.m.  
                              D5   A5    B5 B5 
And I'm gonna be high  
                       E5       E5 
As a kite by then  
F#5                       B5 
I miss the earth so much  

I miss my wife  

It's lonely out in space  

On such a timeless flight  


  A5                                                          D5  
And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time  
                                                                  A5  
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find  
                                                            D5  
I'm not the man they think I am at home  

Ah, no no no...  
  B5     
I'm a rocket man  
 D5  
Rocket man (2X)  

Burnin' out his fuse  
                     A5  
Up here alone  
    

Mars ain't the kind of place  
To raise your kids  
In fact, it's cold as hell  
And there's no one there to raise them  
If you did  

And all this science  
I don't understand  
It's just my job  
Five days a week  
A Rocket Man  
Rocket Man  

(Refr?o)  

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