She packed my bags last night, pre-flight

It's lonely out in space

On such a tiiiimeless flight

Rocket man, burnin' out his fuse up here alone

Mars ain't the kinda place to raise your kids
Gm7 Gm7 C7 C7
In fact it's cold as hell
Eb Eb Bb Bb Cm Cm F F
And there's no one there to raise them if you did

And all this science, I don't understand
Gm7 Gm7 C7 C7
It's just my job five days a week
Eb Eb Bb Bb Cm Cm
Rocket man

I noticed the Bs seem a little out of place. Perhaps they're supposed to be Bb? Otherwise awesome!
