[CAPO ON THIRD FRET]

=== The Universe Song ===


== Intro ==
When ever life gets you down Mrs Brown, and things seem hard or tough and people are 
stupid obnoxious and daft and you feel you have had (Sung) quite a enough.



== Verse I ==
D                        DMaj7            Bm               D
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
       Bm                  D7          A7
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
       A
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
  D
A sun that is the source of all our power.

== Verse II ==
 D                 DMaj7              Bm            D
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
      B7                        Em
Are moving at a million miles a day
      G7                   D
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
B7        Em         A7        D
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.

== Verse III ==
D                 DMaj7            Bm        D
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
       Bm               D7                  A7
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.
A
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
D
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.

== Verse IV ==
D                     DMaj7            Bm               D
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
                    B7              Em
We go 'round every two hundred million years,
      G7                D
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
B7        Em            A7       D
In this amazing and expanding universe.


== Instrumental ==
Played at a slower tempo, best if picked -
D DMaj7 Bm D
B7 Em G7 D
B7 Em A7 D


== Verse V ==
D             DMaj7          Bm              D
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
   Bm           D7              A7
In all of the directions it can whizz
A
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
D
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.


== Verse VI ==
D                 DMaj7          Bm             D
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
              B7                Em
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
    G7                 D                               B7
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
Em                     A7           D
Can there’s bugger all down here on earth
