CAPO 3rd FRET


Em7                              A7
She packed my bags last night, pre-flight
Em7             A
Zero hour, nine AM
C                G/B Am Am/G         D     Dsus2
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
Em7                        A        Asus4
I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife
Em7                A
It's lonely out in space
C         G/B Am  Am/G   D    Dsus2
On such a timeless flight


Chorus (x2)

G                                       C
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
                                            G
'till touchdown brings me 'round again to find
                                    C
I'm not the man they think I am at home
       G                A   Asus4
Oh no, no, no, I'm a Rocket man
C                                     G   Gsus4   C
Rocket man, burnin' out his fuse up here alone


Verse

Em7                              A7
Mars ain't the kinda place to raise your kids
Em7                   A
In fact it's cold as Hell
C                   G/B        Am    Am/G       D    Dsus2
And there's no one there to raise them, if you did
Em7                            A         Asus4
And all this science, I don't understand
Em7                           A
It's just my job five days a week
C       G/B Am  Am/G    D    Dsus2
A Rocket man,   a Rocket man


Chorus (x2)

C                               G      Gsus4
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time...  (repeat)
