[CAPO ON THIRD FRET]
=== The Universe Song ===
== Intro ==
When ever life gets you down Mrs Brown, and things seem hard or tough and people are
stupid obnoxious and daft and you feel you have had (Sung) quite a enough.
== Verse I ==
DJust remember that you'reDMaj7 standing on a plBmanet that's evolvDing
And revBmolving at nine hundrD7ed miles an A7hour,
That's Aorbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A Dsun that is the source of all our power.
== Verse II ==
TDhe sun and you andDMaj7 me and all the staBmrs that we canD see
Are moB7ving at a million miles a Emday
In an G7outer spiral arm, at Dforty thousand miles an hour,
B7Of the galEmaxy we callA7 the 'MilkDy Way'.
== Verse III ==
DOur galaxy itself DMaj7contains a hundreBmd billion Dstars.
It's a Bmhundred thousand D7light years side to A7side.
AIt bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
DBut out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.
== Verse IV ==
DWe're thirty thousand DMaj7light years from Bmgalactic central Dpoint.
We go 'round every tB7wo hundred milliEmon years,
And ouG7r galaxy is only oDne of millions of billions
B7In this amEmazing and expaA7nding uniDverse.

== Verse V ==
DThe universe iDMaj7tself keeps on Bmexpanding and exDpanding
In Bmall of the diD7rections it can A7whizz
AAs fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
DTwelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
== Verse VI ==
DSo remember, when DMaj7you're feeling Bmvery small and Dinsecure,
How amazingly B7unlikely is your bEmirth,
And G7pray that there's iDntelligent life somewhere up in B7space
EmCan there’s bugger alA7l down here oDn earth
