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

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

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