Rocket Man chords
Elton John 1972 (Bernie Taupin)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_Man_(song)
Capo III*
Em7                                  A7
 She packed my bags last night - pre-flight
Em7                A
 Zero hour, nine A.M.
C                 G Am              D
 And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
Em7                          A7
 I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife
Em7                 A7
 It's lonely out in space
C          G   Am   D
 On such a timeless 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         A7
Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
C                                    G
 Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone
Em7                            A7
 Mars ain't the kinda place to raise your kids
Em7                   A7
 In fact it's cold as hell
C                   G  Am                      D
 And there's no one there to raise them if you did
Em7                                A7
 And all this science, I don't understand
Em7                           A7
 It's just my job five days a-week
C       G  Am            D
 Rocket man - - - rocket man
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                 A7
Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
C                                    G
 Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone
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  7x
