THE GALAXY SONG (Eric Idle of Monty Python)
Am7-5 Bb
Whenever life gets you down Mrs Brown
Am7-5 Bb
And things seem hard or tough
Am7-5 Bb G7
And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft
And you Cmfeel like you've had quite eF7nou-ou-oF6u-ou-oughF...
Just reBbmember that you're Dmstanding on a Gmplanet that's eBbvolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an Fhour
That's F7orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned
A sFun that is the source of all our Bbpower
The Bbsun and you and Dmme and all the Gmstars that we can Bbsee
Are G7moving at a million miles a Cmday
In an Ebouter spiral Ebmarm, at forty Bbthousand miles an Gm7hour
Of the Cmgalaxy we Fcall the Milky BbWay
Turnaround: |Eb Ebm|Bb Gm |Cm F |Bb F |
Our Bbgalaxy itDmself contains a Gmhundred billion Bbstars
It's a hundred thousand light years side to Fside
It F7bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick
But out by Fus, it's just three thousand light years Bbwide
We're Bbthirty thousand Dmlight years from gaGmlactic central Bbpoint
We go G7round every two hundred million Cmyears
And our Ebgalaxy is Ebmonly one of Bbmillions of Gm7billions
In this aCmmazing and exFpanding uniBbverse
Instrumental to verse chords, but in 6/8 Time:
|Bb Dm |Gm Bb | |F |
|F7 | |F |Bb |
|Bb Dm |Gm Bb |G7 |Cm |
[Ritarduendo and Rubato]:
|Eb Ebm|Bb |Cm F |Bb F | [Fermata on last chord]
Back to Cut Common Time:
The Bbuniverse itDmself keeps on exGmpanding and exBbpanding
In all of the directions it can Fwhizz
As F7fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know
Twelve Fmillion miles a minute, and that's theBb fastest speed there is
So reBbmember, when you're Dmfeeling very Gmsmall and inseBbcure
How aG7mazingly unlikely is your Cmbirth
And Ebpray that there's inEbmtelligent life Bbsomewhere up in Gm7space
'Cos there's Cmbugger-all Fdown here on BbEarth
