The Universe Song Tab uke di Monty Python

"The Universe Song" by Eric Idle 

Introduction:
(spoken)

Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown
And things seem sad or tough
And people are useless, or obnoxious, or daft,
And you feel that you've had quite enough... 


Verse 1: 

[G7]Just re- 
[C]member that you're standing on a planet that's evolving 
revolving at nine-hundred miles an [G7]hour 
and orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned, 
a sun that is the source of all our [C]power. 
Now the sun and you and me, and all the stars that we can see 
Are [A7]moving a million miles a [F]day 
In an [F7]outer spiral arm at forty [C]thousand miles an hour 
of the [G7]galaxy we call the Milky [C]Way. 

Verse 2: 

[C]Our galaxy itself contains a hundred million stars, 
it's a hundred thousand light-years side to [G7]side, 
it bulges in the middle, sixty thousand light-years thick, 
but out by us it's just three thousand light-years [C]wide. 
We're thiry thousand light-years from galactic central point 
We go [A7]'round every two hundred million [F]years, 
and our [F7]galaxy itself is one of [C]millions of billions in this 
A[G7]mazing and Expanding Uni[C]verse! 

Verse 3: 

[C]The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding 
in all of the directions it can [G7]whiz, 
as fast as it can go, the speed of light, y'know, 
twelve million miles a minute, and that's the [C]fastest speed there is, 
So remember when you're feeling very small and insecure 
How a[A7]mazingly unlikely is your [F]birth, 
And [F7]pray that there's intelligent life [C]somewhere up in space, 
'Cause there's [G7]bugger-all down here on [C]Earth.
