[intro]
C chordC
Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown,
G7 chordG7
And things seem hard or tough,
And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft,
And you feel that you've had quite enough...

[Verse 1]
C chordC Cmaj7 chordCmaj7 C6 chordC6 Cmaj7 chordCmaj7
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
C chordC Cmaj7 chordCmaj7 G7 chordG7
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
G7 chordG7* G7sus4 chordG7sus4 G7 chordG7 G7sus2 chordG7sus2
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
G7 chordG7 G7sus4 chordG7sus4 C chordC
A chordA sun that is the source of all our power.
C chordC Cmaj7 chordCmaj7 C6 chordC6 Cmaj7 chordCmaj7
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
A7 chordA7 F chordF
Are moving at a million miles a day
F7 chordF7 C chordC A7 chordA7
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
F chordF G7 chordG7 C chordC G7 chordG7
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.

[Verse 2]
G7 chordG7 C chordC Cmaj7 chordCmaj7 C6 chordC6 Cmaj7 chordCmaj7
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
C chordC Cmaj7 chordCmaj7 G7 chordG7
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.
G7 chordG7* G7sus4 chordG7sus4 G7 chordG7 G7sus2 chordG7sus2
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
G7 chordG7 G7sus4 chordG7sus4 C chordC
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.
C chordC Cmaj7 chordCmaj7 C6 chordC6 Cmaj7 chordCmaj7
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
A7 chordA7 F chordF
We go 'round every two hundred million years,
F7 chordF7 C chordC A7 chordA7
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
F chordF G7 chordG7 C chordC G7 chordG7
In this amazing and expanding universe.

[Verse 3]
C chordC Cmaj7 chordCmaj7 C6 chordC6 Cmaj7 chordCmaj7
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
C chordC Cmaj7 chordCmaj7 G7 chordG7
In all of the directions it can whizz
G7 chordG7* G7sus4 chordG7sus4 G7 chordG7 G7sus2 chordG7sus2
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
G7 chordG7 G7sus4 chordG7sus4 C chordC
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
C chordC Cmaj7 chordCmaj7 C6 chordC6 Cmaj7 chordCmaj7
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
A7 chordA7 F chordF
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
F7 chordF7 C chordC A7 chordA7
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
F chordF G7 chordG7 C chordC
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth.
