   She packed my bags last night - pre-flight 
Em7                A9 
   Zero hour, nine A.M. 
C                  G/B     Am    Am/G              D/F#   D 
  And I'm gonna be high -i-high       as a kite by then 
Em7                            A9 
   I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife 
Em7                   A9 
   It's lonely out in space                                   ^ ^ 
C           G/B     Am             Am/G    D/F#   D/A   D     C 
  On such a ti - i -imeless flight

G                                      C 
 And I think it's gonna be a long long time 
                                        G 
Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find 
                                   C 
I'm not the man they think I am at home 
           G/B       A9 
Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man 
C                                   G           C 
Rocket man, burnin' out his fuse up here alone 
G                                      C 
 And I think it's gonna be a long long time

Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find 
                                   C

   Mars ain't the kinda place to raise your kids 
Em7                      A9 
    In fact it's cold as hell 
C                     G/B      Am         Am/G         D/F#   D/A   D

Em7                                     A     G/A 
    And all this science, I don't under stand 
Em7                              A   G/A 
    It's just my job five days a week
