[Gm] She packed my bags last [C] night, we flight [Gm]
zero out, 9 [C] a.m.
[Eb]
[Bb] And I'm gonna be [Cm] high [Eb] as [F] a kite by then.
[Gm]
I miss the earth so much, I miss my [Bb] wife, [Gm]
it's lonely out in space.
[Eb]
On [Bb] such a [Cm] timeless [Eb] flight.
[F]
[Bb]
And I think it's gonna be a [Eb] long, long time,
The tugging down brings me round [Bb] again to find,
I'm not the man they think I [Eb] am at home.
Oh no, [Bb] no, no, [C] I'm the Rocket Man.
[F] [Eb] Rocket Man, burning out his [Bb] fuse out of Arizona.

[Gm] [Eb] Rocket Man, burning out his [Bb] fuse out of Arizona.
[Eb] [Bb] [Gm]
Mars ain't the kind of [C] place to raise your kids.
[Gm]
In fact, it's [C] cold as hell, [Bb] [Eb]
and there's [Bb] no one there [Cm] to raise [Eb] them.
[F] If you're dear, [Gm]
and all the science [C] I don't understand,
[Bb] [Gm]
It's just my job five [C] days a week.
[Eb] Rocket Man, [Dm] [Cm] [F] Rocket Man.
[Bb]
And I think it's gonna be a [Eb] long, long time,
The tugging down brings me round [Bb] again to find,
I'm not the man they think [Eb] I am at home.
