Rocket Man (I Think It's Going To Be A Long Long Time)
Honky Château (1972)

Gm7                           C9
She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Gm7               C9     c d
Zero hour, nine A.M.
E♭               B♭/D  Cm  Cm/B♭               F/A
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                             F7

  B♭                                    E♭
  And I think it's gonna be a long long time
                                           B♭
  Till touchdown brings me 'round again to find
                                     E♭
  I'm not the man they think I am at home                       x 2
           B♭/D      C7          /
  Oh no no no, I'm a rocket man  
   E♭                                  B♭(sus4,sus2)  E♭
  (Rocket man) Burnin' out his fuse 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                        w/ clavier cool
It's just my job five days a week
Rocket man, rocket man

  Refrain

                              B♭              E♭
  And I think it's gonna be a long long time       x 8
