Rocket Man (I Think It’s Going To Be A Long, Long Time)

Gm7                           C9
She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Gm7             C9
Zero hour nine a.m.
Eb              Bb/D Cm Cm7/Bb           F/A
And I'm gonna be high       as a kite by then
Gm7                                C11
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
Gm7                 C11
It's lonely out in space
Eb             Bb/D Cm    Cm7/Bb
On such a time-    less  flight

F/A F/C F Ebsus2/F

Bb                                    Eb
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
                                         Bb
Till touch down brings me round again to find
                                    Eb
I'm not the man they think I am at home
       Bb/D       C7
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
Eb                                  Bb       Eb
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse 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
          Eb Bb/D Cm7   Cm7/Bb         F/A  /G  F  Ebsus2/F
A rocket ma----------n, a rocket man

Eb                                    Bb      Eb Bb
And I think it's gonna be a long long time...
