_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D]
I had a very unusual request at my lunchtime gig today to _ [A#] play Rocket Man, _ the acoustic guitar version.
The guy was very specific.
I asked him, I said, where did you hear it?
He said, _ XM.
_ And I have XM.
I had never heard this.
But _ _ somehow it intrigued me and I said, well, after some thought,
because I never played it on guitar, I said, sure, I do it.
So _ after I did it, I really liked it.
And I said, this is going to be part of my act.
So _ [G] here you go.
_ Hope you [E] all enjoy it.
_ _ _ [F#m] She packed my bags last night, free flight, _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ zero hour, 9 a.m. _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [D] _ And I'm gonna be [A] _ high [Bm] _ _ _
as [D] a kite [E] by then. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ I miss the Earth so [E] much.
I miss my [B] wife.
It's _ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ lonely out in [E] _ space _ _ _ _ [G] _ [D] _ on such a [A] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ timeless [D] flight.
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ And I think it's gonna be a long, long time [D] to touch down brings me round again [E] to find
I'm not the man they think I am [Dm] at home.
Oh, no, no, [C#m] no.
_ I'm a rocket [B] _ _
man.
_ _ [D] Rocket man. _
My views up [A] here alone. _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ Mars ain't the kind of place [E] to raise your kids.
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
In fact, it's cold [E] as hell. _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ And there's no one [A] there to [Bm] raise them.
_ [D] _ If [E] you did _ and _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ all this science _ [E] I don't _ understand _ _ is _ _ just my job.
I've [E] been a _ weird [B] _ _ _ [Dm] rocket _ _ man.
[A] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ [A] I'm a rocket man.
And I think it's gonna be a long, [D] long time to touch down brings me round again [E] to find
I'm not the man they think I [D] am at home.
