Song: Rocket Man
By:   Elton John

[verse: 1]
Gm7                                   C   
 She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Gm7               C  
 Zero hour, nine A.M.
Eb                 Bb    Cm                  F  
 And I'm gonna be hi-i-igh ... as a kite by then

Gm7                           C           
 I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife
Gm7                      C        
   It's lonely out in space
Eb          Bb     Cm              F    
 On such a ti-i-imeless flight
 
[chorus:]
Bb                                      Eb
 And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Eb                                        Bb
 Til touchdown brings me around again to find
Bb                                   Eb
 I'm not the man they think I am at home
Eb          Bb           C       
 Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
 Eb                                  Bb       Bbsus4 Bb  Eb
Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone

[chorus:]
Bb                                      Eb
 And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Eb                                        Bb
 Til touchdown brings me around again to find
Bb                                   Eb
 I'm not the man they think I am at home
Eb          Bb           C       
 Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
 Eb                                  Bb       Bbsus4 Bb  Eb
Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone
 
[verse: 2]
Gm7                             C          
 Mars ain't the kinda place to raise your kids
Gm7               C  
  In fact it's cold as hell
Eb                    Bb    Cm                          F       
 And there's no one there to-o-o raise them ... if you did
Gm7                               C     
 And all this science, I don't understand
Gm7                            C   
 It's just my job five days a week
    Eb     Bb   Cm             F     
A rocket ma-a-a-an,    rocket man

[chorus:]
 Bb                                     Eb
 And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Eb                                        Bb
 Til touchdown brings me around again to find
Bb                                   Eb
 I'm not the man they think I am at home
Eb          Bb           C      
 Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
 Eb                                  Bb       Bbsus4 Bb  Eb
Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone
 
[chorus:]
 Bb                                     Eb
 And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Eb                                        Bb
 Til touchdown brings me around again to find
Bb                                   Eb
 I'm not the man they think I am at home
Eb          Bb           C   
 Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
 Eb                                  Bb       Bbsus4 Bb  Eb
Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone
 
[coda:]
Eb                            Bb               Eb
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
                             Bb                Eb
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
                             Bb                Eb
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
                             Bb            {let ring}
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
