“Rocket Man” by Elton John, an acoustic cover by Mike Massé and Jeff Hall
Rocket Man – Elton John Chords/Lyrics
Rocket Man Elton John Key: Bb Capo: 3 Capo 3rd, play in G Note: The chords below are the actual pitches, and *not* relative to the capo. The first chord relative to the capo should be an Em7, to an A9, etc. Sorry about the weird enharmonics (the A# should be a Bb, etc.). This is how my OnSong app insisted on handling it. Verse: Gm7 C9 She packed my bags last night pre-flight Gm7 C9 Zero hour, nine A.M. D# A# Cm F And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then Gm7 C9 I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife Gm7 C9 It's lonely out in space D# A#/D Cm F On such a timeless flight Chorus: A# D# And I think it's gonna be a long, long time A# 'Til touchdown brings me 'round to find D# I'm not the man they think I am at home A#/D C9 Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man D# A# Rocket man, burnin' out his fuse up here alone Repeat Chorus Verse: Gm7 C9 Mars ain't the kinda place to raise your kids Gm7 C9 In fact it's cold as hell D# A#/D Cm F And there's no one there to raise them if you did Gm7 C9 And all this science, I don't understand Gm7 C9 It's just my job five days a-week D# A#/D Cm F Rocket man - - - rocket man Chorus: A# D# And I think it's gonna be a long, long time A# 'Til touchdown brings me 'round to find D# I'm not the man they think I am at home A#/D C9 Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man D# A# Rocket man, burnin' out his fuse up here alone D# A# And I think it's gonna be a long, long time D# A# And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
