Rocket Man Chords

(ver. 1)
Kate Bush
[Verse 1]
Bm                                      Em
    She packed my bag last night pre - flight,
Em7 Bm                   E
       Zero hour - 9  a. m.,
E6 G                    Bm7   Em7                Asus4
      And I'm gonna be high---- ...as a kite by then!


[Verse 2]
Bm                               E
    I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife,
Bm                      Em
    It's lonely out in space,
Em6  G             Bm7  Em7             A  A6
        On such a time----less flight!


[Chorus]
D                                          G
   And I think it's gonna be a long, long time,
                                           D
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find...
                                       G
...I'm not the man they think I am at home,
D                    G            Em7
    Ah, no, no, no,     ...I'm a rocket man,
   G                                     D         Dsus4
Rocket man, burning out his fuse  ...up here alone!


[Verse 3]
Bm                                     E
    Mars ain't the kind of place to raise the kids,
Bm                        Em
    In fact it's cold as hell,
G                       Bm7      Em7                A
    And there's no one there to raise them, if you did!


[Verse 4]
Bm                                 E
     And all the science, I don't understand,
Bm                                 E
     It's just my job five days a week,
          G    Bm7   Em7                A6
A rocket man------------,  ...a rocket man----!


[Chorus]
D                                          G
   And I think it's gonna be a long, long time,
                                           D
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find...
                                       G    D              G
...I'm not the man they think I am at home,    ah, no, no, no!


[Chorus]
D                                          G
   And I think it's gonna be a long, long time,
                                           D
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find...
                                       G
...I'm not the man they think I am at home,
D                    G            Em7
    Ah, no, no, no,     ...I'm a rocket man,
   G                                         D         Dsus4
Rocket man, ...burning out his fuse  ...up here alone!
