Intro 3x: A  E  D  E

A                  E           D
    A Friday night affair
                 E       A
Out in the city heat
                 E       D
Always a party there
                  E           F
Along the sordid street
                     C       G
And it was guaranteed
                     D           A              E   D   E
The place to be was Rocketown

A                           E           D
   The drinks were two for one
                   E           A
Inside the crowded bars
                            E              D
The girls would make their run
                       E       F
Down on the boulevard
                   C     G
It was the idol place
                        D          A                E  A  G
We lived the ways of Rocketown
F                                 C/E            Dm
  Hang around by the street light
                              E              A  E  D  E  A  E  D  E
In the heart of the night life

A                         E          D
   There came a certain man
                  E           A
A stranger to the crowd
                 E         D
We didn't understand
                       E       F
What he was all about
                      C            G
He walked a different pace
                   D          A              E   D   E
So out of place in Rocketown

A                         E       D
   They made a fool of him
                              E              A
They teased him when he's speak
                            E                 D
But when they knocked him down
                       E          F
He turned the other cheek
                      C       G
He told me I could find
                 D          A                E  A  G
A life outside of Rocketown
F                                 C/E            Dm
  Hang around by the street light
                               E
In the heart of the night life

     F
What was his mission
     E     E/G#     Am
Where    was he going
     F                               G           G#?
Why was his heart light always glowing?
F
All I was missing
  E   E/G#        Am
He stood there holding
     F
What was his secret
  G            G#?       A   E  D  E  A   E  D  E
Could I know it?

A                    E            D
  Some didn't like him near
                               E            A
Some laughed and turned away
                 E              D
But me, I longed to hear
                    E        F
All that he had to say
                 C           G
He had a peace of mind
                D          A                E  A  G
I couldn't find in Rocketown
F                                            C/E            Dm
  And when I reached down inside me
                               E
I could feel the emptiness

A                 E           D
   He said it's in the heart
                           E             A
This change that comes to be
                     E           D
Now he had done his part
                    E         F
The rest was up to me
                      C           G
As we were standing there
                           D     A                 E  A  G
He said a prayer for Rocketown
                      C           G
As we were standing there
                            D     A                 E  A  G
He said a prayer for Rocketown

                        C     G
He walked off silently
                            D
And prayed for me
          A                  E   D   E        A   E  D  E
And Rocketown...
