Intro 3x: G  D  C  D 

G        D     C 
A Friday night affair 
           D    G 
Out in the city heat 
         D       C 
Always a party there 
          D      D# 
Along the sordid street 
           A#      F 
And it was guaranteed 
             C      G         D   C   D 
The place to be was Rocketown 


G               D       C 
The drinks were two for one 
           D        G 
Inside the crowded bars 
                D          C 
The girls would make their run 
            D     D# 
Down on the boulevard 
            A#    F 
It was the idol place 
             C       G         D  G  F 
We lived the ways of Rocketown 
D#                  A#/D          Cm 
Hang around by the street light 
                    D          G  D  C  D  G  D  C  D 
In the heart of the night life 


G            D        C 
There came a certain man 
           D       G 
A stranger to the crowd 
          D     C 
We didn't understand 
            D    D# 
What he was all about 
            A#         F 
He walked a different pace 
          C        G         D   C   D 
So out of place in Rocketown 


G           D       C 
They made a fool of him 
                D         G 
They teased him when he's speak 
              D           C 
But when they knocked him down 
              D      D# 
He turned the other cheek 
           A#       F 
He told me I could find 
           C       G        D  G  F 
A life outside of Rocketown 
D#                  A#/D         Cm
Hang around by the street light 
                    D 
In the heart of the night life 

D# 
What was his mission 
D      D/F#     Gm 
Where    was he going 
D#                        F      F# 
Why was his heart light always glowing? 
D# 
All I was missing 
D   D/F#        Gm 
He stood there holding 
 D# 
What was his secret 
F            G#º    G   D  C  D  G   D  C  D 
Could I know it? 


G           D        C 
Some didn't like him near 
                 D       G 
Some laughed and turned away 
           D        C 
But me, I longed to hear 
            D       D# 
All that he had to say 
         A#         F 
He had a peace of mind 
           C        G         D  G  F 
I couldn't find in Rocketown 
D#                       A#/D       Cm 
And when I reached down inside me 
                     D 
I could feel the emptiness 

G            D       C 
He said it's in the heart 
                 D        G 
This change that comes to be 
            D        C 
Now he had done his part 
             D     D# 
The rest was up to me 
           A#         F 
As we were standing there 
                C     G         D  G  F 
He said a prayer for Rocketown 
            A#        F 
As we were standing there 
                C     G         D  G  F 
He said a prayer for Rocketown 

              A#     F 
He walked off silently 
               C 
And prayed for me 
     G                  D   C   D        G   D  C  D 
And Rocketown...
