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


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

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


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


[Chorus]
F            
What was his mission
Am
Where was he going
Dm                        C       G
Why was his heart light always glowing?
F
All I was missing
Am
He stood there holding
Dm
What was his secret
C           G
Could I know it?


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


[Chorus]
F            
What was his mission
Am
Where was he going
Dm                        C       G
Why was his heart light always glowing?
F
All I was missing
Am
He stood there holding
Dm
What was his secret
C           G
Could I know it?


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

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