Modified velvetaya's version to make it easier (CAPO 3).
Em A
She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Em A
Zero hour, nine a.m.
C G quick C D
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
Em A
I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife
Em A
It's so lonely out in space
C G quick C D
On such a timeless flight
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/e/elton_john/rocket_man_crd_ver_9.html ]
Chorus: [x2]
G C
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
G
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
C
I'm not the man they think I am at home
G A
Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
C G
Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone
(+C between choruses)
Em A
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
Em A
In fact it's cold as hell
C G quick C D
And there's no one there to raise them, if you did
Em A
And all this science I don't understand
Em A
It's just my job, five days a week
C G quick C D
A rocket man, a rocket man
Chorus [x2 again]
C G
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time [x4 sounds pretty good, end w/ G]
