[G]
[G#] Back to back, back to [C#] night, flight,
[G#m] zero hour, [C#] nine AM.
And I'm gonna [E] be [D#] high, [C#] [G#m] like a [F#] kite fighter.
[A#] [F#] [A]
[G#] Miss you so much, [C#] I miss my wife.
[G#] It's lonely [C#] out of space, on [E] such a [D#] [C#] timeless [B]
[F#] flight.
[Gm]
[B] I think it's gonna be a [E] long, long flight.
There's no green, zero, [B] like a two slide.
I'm not the man that they say [E] I'm at.
Oh, I [D#] don't know, don't know.
[C#] I'm a rocket man, [E] rocket man.
Burning in my [B] future, hell no.
[E]
[B] It's gonna be a [E] long, long time.
There's no green, zero, like [B] a two slide.
I'm not the man that they say [E] I'm at.
Oh, I don't [B] know, don't know.
[C#] I'm a rocket man, [E] rocket man.
Burning in my future, [B] hell no.
[E]
[G#] I think the kite's place [C#] to race, kid.
[G#] In fact, it's cold [C#] as hell.
[E] And there's no [D#] one there [C#] to [B] race them, if [A#] you did.
[F#]
[G#] And all the science [C#] I don't understand.
[G#] So I drop my [C#] head to read.
I'm [Em] a rocket man, [G#m] [C#] [B]
[F#] rocket man.
[E]
[B] I think it's gonna be a [E] long, long time.
There's no green, zero, like [B] a two slide.
I'm not the man that they say [E] I'm at.
Oh, I don't [D#] know, don't know.
[C#] I'm a rocket man, [E] rocket man.
Burning in my [B] future, hell no.
[E]
[B] I think it's gonna be a [E] long, long time.
There's no green, zero, like [B] a two slide.
I'm not the man that they say [E] I'm at.
Oh, I don't [D#] know, don't know.
[C#] I'm a rocket man, [E] rocket man.
[B] Hell no.
[E]
I think it's gonna be [B] a long, long time.
[E] And I think it's gonna be [B] a long, long time.
[E] And I think it's gonna be a [B] long, long time.
[E] And I think it's [B] gonna be a long, long time.
[E] And I think it's gonna be [B] a long, long time.
[E] And I think it's gonna [B] be a long, long time!
Yeah!
Yeah!
[E] Yeah!
