JuGst ...re - meGmber you're a Gmaj7tiny little peG6rson on a plGanet,
In a uniGverse ex - paG6nding, G7and im - mD7ense,
That lD7ife began e - voAm7lving, and dis - soD7lving, and re - soAm7lving,
In the dD7eep primordial ocAmeans by the hydGrothermal vD7ents!
Our eaGrth, which had its Gmaj7birth almost five biG6llion years a - Ggo,
(G/F#) E E7 Am
From out of a col - lapsing cloud of gas,
Grew lCife which was quiteC#dim new, and e - veGntually led to yE7ou,
In only Am73.5 ...biD7llion years, or leGss! D7
De - oxyGribonu - Gmaj7cleic acid hG6elps us repli - cGate,
And ranGdomly mu - tG6ate from dG7ay to D7day,
We lAmeft the seas, and cAmMaj7limbed the trees,
And Am7our biolo - D7gies ...con - tAm7inued to e - vD7olve through D N GA !
We're G98 Gmaj7.9 per cent the sG6ame as chimpan - zGees,
(G/F#) E E7 Am
Whose trees we left three million years a - go,
To waCnder swapping C#dimgenes, out of AGfrica,
Which mE7eans ...we're re - lAm7ated to evD7eryone we kGnow!
("Oo, 'ello, love!")
[Waltz time rhythm]
LGife is quite sGmaj7trange, lG6ife is quite weGird,
LGife is reG6ally qG7uite oD7dd,
LAmife from aAmMaj7 star ...is Am7far more biz - aD7rre,
Than an Amold bearded bD7loke they call GGod!
So gGaze at theGmaj7 sky, and sG6tart asking wGhy...
(G/F#) E E7 Am
...You're even here on this ball,
For thCough life is fC#dimraught, the oGdds are so sE7hort,
You're lAm7ucky ...to D7be here at aGll!

[Back to 4/4 rhythm]
StaGnding on a Gmaj7planet which is spiG6nning 'round a sGtar,
OGne of just a biG6llion triG7llion sD7uns,
In a UniAmverse that's AmMaj7ninety billion lAm7ight years side to sD7ide,
WonAmdering where the hD7eck it all came fGrom!
You've a tGiny little Gmaj7blink of life to G6try and under - sGtand...
(G/F#) E E7 Am
...What on earth is really going on,
In bi - oClogy and cC#dimhemistry, which mGade you you, and E7made me me,
But dAm7on't ask me ...I oD7nly wrote the sGong!
