Rocket Man (KDM 139) Chris Froggatt (Elton John) 1972

OPENER

Sides Face Grand Square

She packed my bags last night pre-flight

Zero hour nine AM

Allemande Left, Weave the Ring

And I'm gonna be high…igh…

As a kite by then

FIGURE

Heads Square Thru… 4 hands around

Hey, make a Right Hand Star

Heads Star Left… inside you go

Your corner DoSaDo

Swing Thru, Boys Trade

Corner Swing, Promenade

I’m a Rocket Man

MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER

Sides Face Grand Square

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time

Till touch down brings me round again to find

I'm not the man they think I am at home, oh no

Allemande Left, Weave the Ring

I'm a Rocket Man, burning out his fuse up here alone

Swing, Promenade

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time

TAG

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time

ORIGINAL LYRICS

She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine AM
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Till 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

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Till 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

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don't understand
It's…
