Gm C
She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Gm C
Zero hour, nine a.m.
Eb Bb quick Eb F
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then

I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife

It's so lonely out in space
Eb Bb quick Eb F
On such a timeless flight

Bb Eb
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time

'Till touch down brings me round again to find
Eb
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Bb C
Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
Eb Bb
Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone
(+Eb between choruses)
Gm C
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
Gm C
In fact it's cold as hell

It's just my job, five days a week

A rocket man, a rocket man
Chorus [x2 again]
Bb Eb
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time [x4 sounds pretty good, end w/ Eb]
Gm is Gm7 and C is C9
A lot easier to play with a capo on third fret. That makes the chords Em, A, C, G and D.
