Elton John - Rocket Man

[verse 1]
Gm7                                    C9
   She packed my bags last night - pre-flight
Gm7                C9
   Zero hour, nine A.M.
Eb                  Bb/D     Cm   Cm7         F/A   F
  And I'm gonna be high -i-high as a kite by then
Gm7                            C9
   I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife
Gm7                   C9
   It's lonely out in space
Eb           Bb/D     Cm         Cm7 F/A  F/C  F  Eb
  On such a ti - i -imeless flight

[chorus]
Bb                                      Eb
 And I think it's gonna be a long long time
                                        Bb
Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
                                   Eb
I'm not the man they think I am at home
           Bb/D       C9
Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
Eb                                   Bb           Eb
Rocket man, burnin' out his fuse up here alone

Bb                                      Eb
 And I think it's gonna be a long long time
                                        Bb
Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
                                   Eb
I'm not the man they think I am at home
           Bb/D       C9
Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
Eb                                   Bb        Eb
Rocket man, burnin' out his fuse up here alone

[verse 2]
Gm7                              C9
   Mars ain't the kinda place to raise your kids
Gm7                      C9
    In fact it's cold as hell
Eb                     Bb/D      Cm      Cm7   F/A   F/C   F
   And there's no one there to 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    Cm7        F/A   F/C   F
Rocket man  -aaa  -a -a- an         rocket man
