The Galaxy Song Tab de uke por Clint Black

C
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
                           G
Revolving at 900 miles an hour

It's orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it's reckoned
                                      C
A sun that is the source of all our power


The Sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
      A                          Dm
Are moving at a million miles a day
F                 F#dim        C           C#dim
In an outer spiral arm, at 40,000 miles an hour
D                  G             C
Of the galaxy, we call the Milky Way

C
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars
                                    G
It's a 100,000 light years side to side
         
It bulges in the middle, 16,000 light years thick
                                           C
But out by us it's just 3,000 light years wide

C
We're 30,000 light years from galactic central point
        A                       Dm
We go round every 200,000,000 years
          F        F#dim         C          C#dim
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
          D              G         C
In this amazing and expanding universe

--break--

      C
Our universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
                                 G
In all of the directions it can whiz

As fast as it can go, the speed of light you know
                                           C
12,000,000 miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is


So, remember when you're feeling very small and insecure
      A                         Dm
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
      F                  F#dim            C              C#dim
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
            D                        G              C
'Cause I'm afraid that we've been cheated here on Earth
