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