Verses - 4/4 time
Instrumental break - 3/4 waltz time
Tea break - about 12:30pm lunch time
FOR GUITAR...
CAPO: 3rd fret (Will then sound in the recorded key of Bb)
FOR KEYBOARDS...
To play this song it's important to first find the right key,
then unlock the piano lid, and start playing! Easy!!!
PLEASE NOTE: I wouldn't recommend the use of a keyboard capo,
it takes two very strong people to fit one, and if it springs off
there could be a very nasty accident.
Chord names and fret positions are relative to the capo:
C#dim = xx2323 G6 = 320000 E = 022100 C#7 = x46464
G = 320003 G7 = 320001 Emaj7 = 021100 F#m = 244222
E7 = 022130 Am7 = x02213 E6 = 022120 A = x02220

[Intro]
C#dim G
Whenever life gets you down, (Mrs. Brown)
C#dim G
And things seem hard or tough,
C#dim G E7
And people are stupid, ob - noxious or daft,
A7 D7
And you feel that you've had quite e - nough...
[Verse 1]
G Gmaj7 G6 G
Just ...re - member that you're standing on a planet that's e - volving,
G G6 G7 D7
And re - volving at nine hundred miles an hour,
D7 Am7 D7 Am7
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
D7 Am7 G D7
A sun that is the source of all our power
[Verse 2]
G Gmaj7 G6 G
The sun, and you and me, and all the stars that we can see,
G * G/F# G/F E E7 Am C C#dim
Are moving, at a million miles a day, in an outer spiral arm,
G E7 Am7 D7 G
At forty thousand miles an hour, of the galaxy we call The Milky Way
[Break]
C#dim G E7 Am7 D7 G D7

[Verse 3]
G Gmaj7 G6 G
Our galaxy it - self contains a hundred billion stars,
G G6 G7 D7
Its a hundred thousand light years side-to-side,
D7 Am7 D7 Am7
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
D7 Am7 G D7
But, out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide
[Verse 4]
G Gmaj7 G6 G
We're thirty thousand light years from ga - lactic central point,
G * G/F# G/F E E7 Am
We go 'round every two hundred million years,
C C#dim G E7
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions,
Am7 D7 G
In this a - mazing and ex - panding uni - verse
[Verse 5] -Instrumental in 3/4 time

[Verse 6] - Back to 4/4 time
D7 G Gmaj7 G6 G
The--- universe it - self keeps on ex - panding and ex - panding,
G G6 G7 D7
In all of the di - rections it can whizz,
D7 Am7 D7 Am7
As fast as it can go, the speed of light, you know,
D7 Am7 G
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is
[Verse 7]
D7 G Gmaj7 G6 G
So re - member, when you're feeling very small and in - secure,
G * G/F# G/F E E7 Am
How a - mazingly un - likely is your birth,
C C#dim G E7
And pray that there's in - telligent life somewhere up in space,
Am7 D7 G
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth!
