[Am] The next song is called Rocket Man and it'll be released as a single, I [Bb] hope, on March the [Gm] 3rd.
And it's about time I [Bb] had a single out, isn't it?
Anyway, [Gm] it's called Rocket Man.
She packed my bags [C] last night, free flight, [Gm] zero hour, [C] 9am
And [Eb] I'm [Bb] gonna be [Cm] high [Eb] as a [F] kite by then
[Gm] I miss the earth so [C] much, I miss my wife
[Gm] Just lonely [C] out in space, [Eb] on [Bb] such a [Cm] timeless flight
[F] And [Am]
[F] [Eb] [Bb] I think it's gonna be a [Eb] long, long time
Touchdown brings me round [Bb] again to mind
I'm not the man that you think I [Eb] am at home, oh no, [Bb] no, no
[C] I'm a rocket man,
[Eb] rocket man
Burning out his [Bb] new dog hair alone
[Eb] [Bb] And I think it's gonna be a long, [Eb] long time
Till touchdown brings me round again [Bb] to mind
I'm not the man they think I [Eb] am at home, oh no, [Bb] no, no
[C] I'm a rocket man, [Gm]
[Eb] rocket man
Burning out his new [Bb] dog hair alone
[Bb]
[Eb] [Gm] Mars ain't the kind of [C] place to raise your kids
[Gm] In fact, it's cold [C] as hell
And [Gm] [Eb] there's [Bb] no one there to [Cm] raise them, [Eb] [F] if you dare
[Gm] And all the science [C] I don't understand
Is [Gm] just my job five [C] days a week
[Bb] A [Eb] rocket man, [Bb]
[Cm] [Eb] a [F] rocket man
[Bb] And I think it's gonna be a [Eb] long, long time
Till touchdown brings me round [Bb] again to mind
I'm not the man they think I [Eb] am at home, oh no, [Bb] no, no
[C] I'm a rocket man,
[Eb] rocket man
Burning out his [Bb] new dog hair alone
And [Eb] [Bb] I think it's gonna be a long, [Eb] long time
Till touchdown brings me round again [Bb] to mind
I'm not the man they think I am [Eb] at home, oh no, [Bb] no, no
[C] I'm a rocket man,
[Eb] rocket man
Burning out his new [Bb] dog hair alone
And [Eb] I think it's gonna [Bb] be a long, long time
And [Eb] I think it's gonna [Bb] be a long, long time
[Eb] And I think it's gonna [Bb] be a long, long time
[Eb] And I think it's gonna [Bb] be a long, long time
[Eb] And I think it's gonna [Bb] be a long, long time
[Eb] And I think it's gonna [Bb] be a long, long time
[Eb] And I think it's gonna [Bb] be a long, long time [Eb] Oh no
And I think it's gonna be [Bb] a long, long time
