Intro
(Spoken... music creeps in towards the end...)
Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown
And things seem sad or tough
And people are useless, or obnoxious, or daft,
And you feel that you've had quite enough... (G)
(played in a simple bass-note/chord form in 4)
*Verse I*
SOL SOL7
Just re-
DO
member that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
DO SOL
revolving at nine-hundred miles an hour
SOL7
and orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
DO
a sun that is the source of all our power.
DO
Now the sun and you and me, and all the stars that we can see
LA7 FA
Are moving a million miles a day
FA7 DO
In an outer spiral arm at forty thousand miles an hour
SOL7 DO
of the galaxy we call the Milky Way.
(chords same for all verses)
*Verse II*
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred million stars,
it's a hundred thousand light-years side to side,
it bulges in the middle, sixty thousand light-years thick,
but out by us it's just three thousand light-years wide.
We're thiry thousand light-years from galactic central point
We go 'round every two hundred million years,
and our galaxy itself is one of millions of billions in this
Amazing and Expanding Universe!
Break -- odd animations...
*Verse III*
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
in all of the directions it can whiz,
as fast as it can go, the speed of light, y'know,
twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is,
So remember when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'Cause there's bugger-all down here on Earth.
