The Kingston Trio - Much better view of the moon

^GI used to walk through this world Cautious and oh, so ^Dserious Till the ^Amlife I was living Was ^Dnearly a near-death ex^Gperience

But ^CI changed my story when I finally saw Where I ^Gwas, wasn't where it was^D at And ^Fnow I'm alive, I let ^Cdestiny drive And ^DI'm stretching out in the^G back

If I ^Dlose my job, I'll ^Gsleep till noon If the ^Dnews is bad, I'll ^Gwatch cartoons If my ^Chouse burns down, I'll have ^Glots more ^Aroom And a ^Dmuch better view of the ^Gmoon

^GIn the vastness of space The ever-expanding ^Duniverse We are ^Amall puny specks of ga^Dlactic dust Here on ^Gmother earth

Now, ^CI ain't no preacher, don't know if I'll reach ya But ^Ghere is some humble ad^Dvice Use your ^Funcommon sense and you ^Csurely will live An un^Dcommonly sensible ^Glife

If you ^Dlose your job, ^Gsleep till noon If the ^Dnews is bad, ^Gwatch cartoons And if your ^Chouse burns down, you'll have ^Glots more ^Aroom And a ^Dmuch better view of the ^Gmoon

Now, ^CI ain't no preacher, don't know if I'll reach ya But ^Ghere is some humble ad^Dvice Use your ^Funcommon sense and you ^Csurely will live An un^Dcommonly sensible ^Glife

If I ^Dlose my job, I'll ^Gsleep till noon If the ^Dnews is bad, I'll ^Gwatch cartoons If my ^Chouse burns down, I'll have ^Glots more ^Aroom And a ^Dmuch better view of the ^Gmoon Yeah, a ^Dmuch better view of the ^Gmoon
