C#dim G C#dim G
Whenever life gets you down,(Mrs. Brown)and things seem hard or tough,
C#dim G E7
And people are stupid, ob - noxious or daft,
A7 D7
And you feel that you've had quite e - nough------!
G Gmaj7 G6 G
Just re - member that you're standing on a planet that's e - volving,
G6 D7
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
Am7 D7 Am7
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
D7 Am7 G D7
A sun that is the source of all our power!
G Gmaj7 G6 G
The sun, and you and me, and all the stars that we can see,
(G/F#) E E7 Am C C#dim
Are moving, at a million miles a day, in an outer spiral arm,
G E7 Am7 D7 G
At forty thousand miles an hour, of the galaxy we call the Milky way!
C#dim G E7 Am7 D7 G D7

G Gmaj7 G6 G
Our galaxy it - self contains a hundred billion stars,
G6 D7
Its a hundred thousand light years side-to-side,
Am7 D7 Am7
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
D7 Am7 G D7
But, out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide!

G Gmaj7 G6 G
We're thirty thousand light years from ga - lactic central point,
(G/F#) E E7 Am
We go 'round every two hundred million years,
C C#dim G E7
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions,
Am7 D7 G
In this a - mazing and ex - panding uni - verse!

The--- universe it - self keeps on ex - panding and ex - panding,
G6 D7
In all of the di - rections it can whizz,
Am7 D7 Am7
As fast as it can go, the speed of light, you know,
D7 Am7 G
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is!
D7 G Gmaj7 G6 G
So re - member, when you're feeling very small and in - secure,
(G/F#) E E7 Am
How a - mazingly un - likely is your birth,
C C#dim G E7
And pray that there's in - telligent life somewhere up in space,
Am7 D7 G
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth!
