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
