Gm7                               C7
She packed my bags last night - pre-flight
Gm7                C
Zero hour, nine A.M.
D#                A# Cm              F
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
Gm7                              C7
I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife
Gm7                 C7
It's lonely out in space
D#         A# Cm     F
On such a timeless flight

Chorus:
A#                                     D#
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
                                        A#
Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
                                    D#
I'm not the man they think I am at home
           A#         C7
Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
D#                                   A#
Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone - x2

Mars ain't the kind of 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 the science, I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man
A rocket man

Chorus - x2

D#                           A#
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
