Capo 3rd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Verse 1
She packed my bags last night - pre-flight
Zero hour, nine A.M.
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight as this
Chorus
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Til touchdown brings me 'round to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no, no,no, I'm a rocket man
Rocket man, burnin' out his fuse up here alone (2x)
Verse 2
Mars ain't the kinda place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science, I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
Rocket man rocket man
Chorus
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Til touchdown brings me 'round to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
Rocket man, burnin' out his up here alone (2x)
Outro
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
