Intro 3x: A5  E5  D5  E5

A5                  E5           D5
    A Friday night affair
                 E5       A5
Out in the city heat
                 E5       D5
Always a party there
                  E5           F5
Along the sordid street
                     C5       G5
And it was guaranteed
                     D5           A5              E5   D5   E5
The place to be was Rocketown

A5                           E5           D5
   The drinks were two for one
                   E5           A5
Inside the crowded bars
                            E5              D5
The girls would make their run
                       E5       F5
Down on the boulevard
                   C5     G5
It was the idol place
                        D5          A5                E5  A5  G5
We lived the ways of Rocketown
F5                                 C5            D5
  Hang around by the street light
                              E5              A5  E5  D5  E5  A5  E5  D5  E5
In the heart of the night life

A5                         E5          D5
   There came a certain man
                  E5           A5
A stranger to the crowd
                 E5         D5
We didn't understand
                       E5       F5
What he was all about
                      C5            G5
He walked a different pace
                   D5          A5              E5   D5   E5
So out of place in Rocketown

A5                         E5       D5
   They made a fool of him
                              E5              A5
They teased him when he's speak
                            E5                 D5
But when they knocked him down
                       E5          F5
He turned the other cheek
                      C5       G5
He told me I could find
                 D5          A5                E5  A5  G5
A life outside of Rocketown
F5                                 C5            D5
  Hang around by the street light
                               E5
In the heart of the night life

     F5
What was his mission
     E5     E5     A5
Where    was he going
     F5                               G5           G#?
Why was his heart light always glowing?
F5
All I was missing
  E5   E5        A5
He stood there holding
     F5
What was his secret
  G5            G#?       A5   E5  D5  E5  A5   E5  D5  E5
Could I know it?

A5                    E5            D5
  Some didn't like him near
                               E5            A5
Some laughed and turned away
                 E5              D5
But me, I longed to hear
                    E5        F5
All that he had to say
                 C5           G5
He had a peace of mind
                D5          A5                E5  A5  G5
I couldn't find in Rocketown
F5                                            C5            D5
  And when I reached down inside me
                               E5
I could feel the emptiness

A5                 E5           D5
   He said it's in the heart
                           E5             A5
This change that comes to be
                     E5           D5
Now he had done his part
                    E5         F5
The rest was up to me
                      C5           G5
As we were standing there
                           D5     A5                 E5  A5  G5
He said a prayer for Rocketown
                      C5           G5
As we were standing there
                            D5     A5                 E5  A5  G5
He said a prayer for Rocketown

                        C5     G5
He walked off silently
                            D5
And prayed for me
          A5                  E5   D5   E5        A5   E5  D5  E5
And Rocketown...
