Michael W Smith - Rocketown Chords

Intro 3x: A  E  D  E 

A        E     D 
A Friday night affair 
           E    A 
Out in the city heat 
         E       D 
Always a party there 
          E      F 
Along the sordid street 
           C      G 
And it was guaranteed 
             D      A         E   D   E 
The place to be was Rocketown 


A               E       D 
The drinks were two for one 
           E        A 
Inside the crowded bars 
                E          D 
The girls would make their run 
            E     F 
Down on the boulevard 
            C    G 
It was the idol place 
             D       A         E  A  G 
We lived the ways of Rocketown 
F                  C/E          Dm 
Hang around by the street light 
                    E          A  E  D  E  A  E  D  E 
In the heart of the night life 


A            E        D 
There came a certain man 
           E       A 
A stranger to the crowd 
          E     D 
We didn't understand 
            E    F 
What he was all about 
            C         G 
He walked a different pace 
          D        A         E   D   E 
So out of place in Rocketown 


A           E       D 
They made a fool of him 
                E         A 
They teased him when he's speak 
              E           D 
But when they knocked him down 
              E      F 
He turned the other cheek 
           C       G 
He told me I could find 
           D       A        E  A  G 
A life outside of Rocketown 
F                  C/E         Dm
Hang around by the street light 
                    E 
In the heart of the night life 

F 
What was his mission 
E      E/G#     Am 
Where    was he going 
F                        G      G# 
Why was his heart light always glowing? 
F 
All I was missing 
E   E/G#        Am 
He stood there holding 
 F 
What was his secret 
G            G#º    A   E  D  E  A   E  D  E 
Could I know it? 


A           E        D 
Some didn't like him near 
                 E       A 
Some laughed and turned away 
           E        D 
But me, I longed to hear 
            E       F 
All that he had to say 
         C         G 
He had a peace of mind 
           D        A         E  A  G 
I couldn't find in Rocketown 
F                       C/E       Dm 
And when I reached down inside me 
                     E 
I could feel the emptiness 

A            E       D 
He said it's in the heart 
                 E        A 
This change that comes to be 
            E        D 
Now he had done his part 
             E     F 
The rest was up to me 
           C         G 
As we were standing there 
                D     A         E  A  G 
He said a prayer for Rocketown 
            C        G 
As we were standing there 
                D     A         E  A  G 
He said a prayer for Rocketown 

              C     G 
He walked off silently 
               D 
And prayed for me 
     A                  E   D   E        A   E  D  E 
And Rocketown...
