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
Cm F7 F6 F
And you feel like you've had quite enou-ou-ou-ou-ough...
Bb Dm Gm Bb
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
F
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour
F7
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned
F Bb
A sun that is the source of all our power
Bb Dm Gm Bb
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
G7 Cm
Are moving at a million miles a day
Eb Ebm Bb Gm7
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour
Cm F Bb
Of the galaxy we call the Milky Way
Turnaround:
|Eb Ebm|Bb Gm |Cm F |Bb F |
Bb Dm Gm Bb
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars
F
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side
F7
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick
F Bb
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide
Bb Dm Gm Bb
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point
G7 Cm
We go round every two hundred million years
Eb Ebm Bb Gm7
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
Cm F Bb
In this amazing and expanding universe
