[Gm] She packed my bags last [C] night, free flight,
[Gm] zero hour, 9 [C] a.m.
[Bb]
[Eb] And I'm gonna [Bb] be [Cm] high as a kite [F] by then.
I
[Gm] miss the earth so much, I miss my wife.
[F]
[Gm] It's lonely out in space,
[Eb] on such a [Bb] [Cm] timeless [Eb] flight.
[F]
[Bb]
And I think it's gonna be a long, long [Eb] time,
Till touchdown brings me round again to [Bb] find,
I'm not the man they think I am at [Eb] home.
Oh no, no, [Bb] no.
[C]
[Eb] Rocking Man, I'm not excused, I was [Bb] there all along.
[Eb]
[Bb] And I think it's gonna be a long, long [Eb] time,
Till touchdown brings me round again to [Bb] find,
I'm not the man they think I am at [Eb] home.
[Bb]
[C] I'm a Rocking Man, [Gm] [Eb] I'm not [Bb] excused, I was there all along.
Mars ain't the kind of place [C] to raise your kids.
[Gm] In fact, it's cold as [C] hell, [Bb]
[Eb] and there's no [Bb] one there to [Cm] raise them.
[Eb] If you're [F] dear,
[Gm] and all the science [C] I don't understand,
[Gm]
It's just my job five [C] days a week.
[Gm] [Cm] A Rocking [Eb] Man, [Dm] [Cm] [Eb] Rocking [F] Man.
[Bb]
And I think it's gonna be a long, [Eb] long time,
Till touchdown brings me round again [Bb] to find,
I'm not the man they think I am [Eb] at home.
Oh no, no, [Bb]
[C] [Eb]
[Bb] [Eb]
[Bb] no.
And I think it's gonna be a long, [Eb] long time,
Till touchdown brings me round again [Bb] to find,
I'm not the man they think I am [Eb] at home.
[Bb]
[C] Rocking Man, [Gm] I'm [Eb]
[Bb] not excused, I was there all along.
[Eb] And I think it's gonna be [Bb] a long, long [Eb]
[Bb] [Eb]
[Bb] [Eb]
[Bb] [Eb]
[Bb] time.
[Eb]
[Bb] [Eb]
[Bb] [Eb] you
