Rocket Man (E. John)
Capo on 3rd fret
 
Em7  022033
A7sus4  002233 (you can hammer on the 2 on g string)
C 032010
G 320033
Am 002210
D 000323 or 054030
C9 032033
 
Em7         A7sus4
She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Em7      A7sus4
Zero hour, nine a.m.
C     G  Am     D
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
Em7     A7sus4
I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife
Em7       A7sus4
It's so lonely out in space
C    G  Am    D
On such a timeless flight as this
 
Chorus: [x2]
G      C9
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
       G
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
          C9
I'm not the man they think I am at home
      G9   A7sus4
Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
C          G     C9
Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone  
        
 
Em7         A7sus4    
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
Em7       A7sus4
In fact it's cold as hell
C   G  Am      D
And there's no one there to raise them, if you did
Em7      A7sus4    
And all this science I don't understand
Em7      A7sus4    
It's just my job, five days a week
C  G  Am     D
A rocket man, a rocket man
 
Chorus [x2 again]
 
C9       G
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
 
and it repeats the same thing over and over and gets slower and slower for almost eight minutes, and somehow it always seems too short.
