A E D
A Friday night affair
E A
Out in the city heat
E D
Always a party there
E F
Along the sordid street
C G
And it was guaranteed
D A E D E
The place to be was Rocketown
A E D
The drinks were two for one
E A
Inside the crowded bars
E D
The girls would make their run
E F
Down on the boulevard
C G
It was the idol place
D A E A G
We lived the ways of Rocketown
F C/E Dm
Hang around by the street light
E A E D E A E D E
In the heart of the night life
A E D
There came a certain man
E A
A stranger to the crowd
E D
We didn't understand
E F
What he was all about
C G
He walked a different pace
D A E D E
So out of place in Rocketown
A E D
They made a fool of him
E A
They teased him when he's speak
E D
But when they knocked him down
E F
He turned the other cheek
C G
He told me I could find
D A E A G
A life outside of Rocketown
F C/E Dm
Hang around by the street light
E
In the heart of the night life
F
What was his mission
E E/G# Am
Where was he going
F G G#º
Why was his heart light always glowing?
F
All I was missing
E E/G# Am
He stood there holding
F
What was his secret
G G#º A E D E A E D E
Could I know it?
A E D
Some didn't like him near
E A
Some laughed and turned away
E D
But me, I longed to hear
E F
All that he had to say
C G
He had a peace of mind
D A E A G
I couldn't find in Rocketown
F C/E Dm
And when I reached down inside me
E
I could feel the emptiness
A E D
He said it's in the heart
E A
This change that comes to be
E D
Now he had done his part
E F
The rest was up to me
C G
As we were standing there
D A E A G
He said a prayer for Rocketown
C G
As we were standing there
D A E A G
He said a prayer for Rocketown
C G
He walked off silently
D
And prayed for me
A E D E A E D E
And Rocketown...
