[E] [G] [Gm] She packed me my bags, said that's the [C] night we fly
It's [Gm] zero hour,
[C] 9am
And [Bb] [Eb] I'm gonna [Bb] be high
[Cm] As a [F] kite by then
I
[Gm] miss the earth so much
[Bb] I miss my wife
[Gm] It's lonely out in [Bb] space
[Eb] I'm [Bb] such a [Cm] timeless flight
[F] And
[Bb] nothing's gonna feel [Eb] long, long time
The touchdown brings me right up [Bb] to five
And I'm not the man they think I [Eb] am at home
No, [Bb] no, no
[C] I'm [Dm] [Eb] not the man I'm supposed [Bb] to have here with me
[Eb]
[Bb] And nothing's gonna feel long, long [Eb] time
The touchdown brings me right up to [Bb] five
And I'm not the man they think I am at [Eb] home
No, no, [Bb] no
[C] I'm a rocket man
[Bb] [Eb] Rocket man
Burning out [Bb] his fuse up here at home
[Eb]
[Gm] Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact, it's cold as hell
And
[Eb] there's no [Bb] one there to [Cm] raise them
[F] Every day
And [Gm]
all this science I don't [Bb] understand
[C] [Bb]
It's [Gm] just my job, my days, we
A [Eb] rocket [Bb] man
[Cm] Rocket [F]
man
[Bb]
And nothing's gonna feel long, [Eb] long time
The touchdown brings me right up [Bb] to five
And I'm not the man they think I am [Eb] at home
No, [Bb] no, no
[C] I'm a rocket man
[Bb] [Eb] Rocket man
Burning out his fuse [Bb] up here at home
[Eb] [Bb]
And nothing's gonna feel long, long [Eb] time
The touchdown brings me right up to [Bb] five
And I'm not the man they think I am [Eb] at home
No, no, [Bb] no
I'm [C] a rocket man
[Bb] [Eb] Rocket man
Burning out his fuse up [Bb] here at home
[Eb] And nothing's gonna feel [Bb] long, long time
[Eb] I think it's gonna feel [Bb] long, long time
[Cm] I [Eb] think it's gonna feel [Bb]
long, long time
I [Eb] think it's gonna feel [Bb] long, long time
I [Eb] think it's gonna feel [Bb] long, long time
I [Eb] think it's gonna feel [Bb] long, long time [Eb] Oh
Yeah, I think it's gonna [Bb] feel long, long time
Rocket [Gm] man, thank you
