Elton John-Rocket Man - BPM - 70
[Verse 1 - BPM 137][Gm7] She packed by bag last night, [C9] preflight,
[Gm7] Zero hour, nine a. [C9]m.
[Eb] And I'm gonna be [Bb/D] high [Cm] igh [Cm7/Bb] igh
As a kite by [F/A] then (repeat F/A at 5th fret)
[Gm7] I miss the earth so much I [C9] miss my wife
[Gm7] It's lonely out in space [C9]
[Eb] On such a [Bb/D] time
i i i i i [Cm] ime less flight [Cm7/Bb]
[F/A] [F/C] [F] [Eb9-668866] (at 7th fret whole barre)
[Chorus - Play Bb at 6th fret - stay in that area]
[Bb] And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time
[Eb] 'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
[Bb] I'm not the man they think I am at home
[Eb] Ah, no no no... [Bb/D]
I'm a roc [C7] ket man
[Eb] Rocket man Burnin' out his fuse
Up [Bb] here alone [Eb] ...........
[Bb] And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time
[Eb] 'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
[Bb] I'm not the man they think I am at home
[Eb] Ah, no no no... [Bb/D]
I'm a roc [C7] ket man
[Eb] Rocket man Burnin' out his fuse
Up [Bb] here alone [Eb] ...........
[Verse 2]
[Gm7] Mars ain't the kind of place
[C9] To raise your kids
[Gm7] In fact, it's cold as hell [C9]
[Eb] And there's no one [Bb/D] there to
[Cm] raise them
[Cm7/Bb] If you did (don't climb all the way - stay on F/A)
[F/A]
[Gm7] And all this science
[C9] I don't understand
[Gm7] It's just my job
[C9] Five days a week
A Rocket [Eb] Man [Bb/D] an a [Cm] an [Cm7/Bb]
Rocket Man [F/A] [F/C] [F] [Eb9]
[Chorus]
[Bb] And I think it's gonna be a long, long, time
[Eb] 'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
[Bb] I'm not the man they think I am at home
[Eb] Ah, no no no... [Bb/D]
I'm a roc [C7] ket man
[Eb] Rocket man Burnin' out his fuse
Up [Bb] here alone [Eb]
[Chorus again]
