[Verse 1]
Bm                                     Em
    She packed my bag last night pre - flight,
Em7 Bm                   E
       Zero hour - 9  a. m.,
E6 G                   Bm7   Em7                Asus4
      And I'm gonna be high---- ...as a kite by then!
 
[Verse 2]
Bm                              E
    I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife,
Bm                     Em
    It's lonely out in space,
Em6  G            Bm7  Em7              A  A6
        On such a time----less flight!
 
[Chorus]
D                                         G
   And I think it's gonna be a long, long time,
                                          D
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find...
                                      G
...I'm not the man they think I am at home,
D                    G           Em7
    Ah, no, no, no,     ...I'm a rocket man,
G                                   D           Dsus4
Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone!
 
[Verse 3]
Bm                                  E
    Mars ain't the kind of place to raise the kids,
Bm                       Em
    In fact it's cold as hell,
G                      Bm7      Em7                A
    And there's no one there to raise them, if you did!
 
[Verse 4]
Bm                                E
     And all the science, I don't understand,
Bm                                E
     It's just my job five days a week,
         G    Bm7   Em7                A6
A rocket man------------,  ...a rocket man!
 
[Chorus]
D                                         G
   And I think it's gonna be a long, long time,
                                          D
 'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find...
                                      G     D              G
...I'm not the man they think I am at home,    ah, no, no, no!
 
[Chorus]
D                                         G
   And I think it's gonna be a long, long time,
                                         D
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find...
                                      G
...I'm not the man they think I am at home,
D                    G           Em7
    Ah, no, no, no,     ...I'm a rocket man,
G                                  D            Dsus4
