CAPO 3RD FRET
Verse 1:
Em7 A Asus4
She packed my bags last night - pre-flight
Em7 A Asus4
Zero hour, nine A.M.
C G Am D Dsus4 Dsus2
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
Em7 A Asus4
I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife
Em7 A Asus4
It's lonely out in space
C G Am D Dsus4 Dsus2
On such a timeless flight as this
Chorus:
G C
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
G
Til touchdown brings me 'round to find
C
I'm not the man they think I am at home
G A Asus4
Oh no, no,no, I'm a rocket man
C G C
Rocket man, burnin' out his fuse up here alone (2x)
Verse 2:
Em7 A Asus4
Mars ain't the kinda place to raise your kids
Em7 A Asus4
In fact it's cold as hell
C G Am D Dsus4 Dsus2
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
Em7 A Asus4
And all this science, I don't understand
Em7 A Asus4
It's just my job five days a week
C G Am D Dsus4 Dsus2
Rocket man rocket man
Chorus
G C
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
G
Til touchdown brings me 'round to find
C
I'm not the man they think I am at home
G A Asus4
Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
C G C
Rocket man, burnin' out his up here alone (2x)
Outro:
C G
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
C G
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
This is a great tab for beginners with a nice bit of 4th finger action on the Asus and Dsus, and easy to remember.
try a plain em instead of em7 and asus2 instead of asus4,i personally think it sounds better but still a great tab.
Soooo close. There is a Am/G missing between the Am and the D in the verse and the chorus (similar run down he uses in Your Song, a song also in G and uses this run done on the "I hope you don't mind.." sections) and there is also a little Gsus4 (3 2 0 0 1 3) in the outro and on the last chorus. Easy to play just play the G like this 3 2 0 0 0 3 and slip your first finger on the B string. So the it goes C - G - Gsus4 - G. Not sure about the Dsus2 either :)
