Rocket Man by Elton John (Chords & Lyrics)

Rocket Man by Elton John

         She packed my bags last night - pre-flight
         Zero hour, nine A.M.
         And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
         I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife
         It's lonely out in space
         On such a timeless flight as this

{c:Chorus:}
                   And I think it's gonna be a long long time
                   Til touchdown brings me 'round to find
                   I'm not the man they think I am at home
                   Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
                   Rocket man, burnin' out his up here alone

         Mars ain't the kinda 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
         Rocket man - - - rocket man

{c:Chorus}
                   And I think it's gonna be a long long time
                   Til touchdown brings me 'round to find
                   I'm not the man they think I am at home
                   Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
                   Rocket man, burnin' out his up here alone
                   And I think it's gonna be a long long time
                   And I think it's gonna be a long long time
