Lyrics:
Intro:
She packed my bags last night, pre-flight
Zero hour, nine AM.
And I'm gonna be high
As a kite by then.
Verse:
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space.
On such a timeless
flight.
Chorus X2:
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
Touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home, oh no no no
I'm a rocket man, rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone.
Fill:
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kid
In fact it's cold as hell.
And there's no one there
To raise them if you did.
Verse:
And all this silence I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man.
A rocket man.
Chorus X2:
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
Touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home, oh no no no
I'm a rocket man, rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone.
Outro (Starts after last 'rocket man' in above chorus):
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time. X5
End:
I think it's gonna be a long, long time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official ME FIRST AND THE GIMME GIMMES tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
