F#m                               Bm
She packed my bags last night pre-flight
F#m                Bm
Zero hour nine a.m.
D               A   Bm             E
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
F#m                                Bm
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
F#m                Bm
It's lonely out in space
D         A        Bm     E
On such a timeless flight

[Chorus]
A                                     D
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
D                                        A
Till touch down brings me round again to find
A                                  D
I'm not the man they think I am at home
D        A        B7
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
D                                  A
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

[Verse 2]
F#m                             Bm
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
F#m                  Bm
In fact, it's cold as ice
D                  A        Bm                E
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
F#m                          Bm
And all this science I don't understand
F#m                         Bm
It's just my job five days a week
        D A Bm         E
A rocket man, rocket man

[Chorus]
A                                     D
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
D                                        A
Till touch down brings me round again to find
A                                  D
I'm not the man they think I am at home
D        A        B7
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
D                                  A        D
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

[Chorus]
A                                     D
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
D                                        A
Till touch down brings me round again to find
A                                  D
I'm not the man they think I am at home
D        A        B7
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
D                                  A        D
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

And I think it's gonna be a long long time

And I think it's gonna be a long long time
