F#m                                             B  
She packed my bag last night, preflight  
F#m                     B  
Zero hour, nine a.m.  
                              D   A    Bm Bm/A 
And I'm gonna be high  
                       E       E7 
As a kite by then  
F#m                       B 
I miss the earth so much  
I miss my wife  
It's lonely out in space  
On such a timeless flight  


  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  
Ah, no no no...  
  B     
I'm a rocket man  
 D  
Rocket man (2X)  

Burnin' out his fuse  
                     A  
Up here alone  
   

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 this science  
I don't understand  
It's just my job  
Five days a week  
A Rocket Man  
Rocket Man  

(Refrão)  

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
