Galaxy Song Ukulele chords by Monty Python

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)



Introduction:
 Gdim          G
Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown
  Gdim        G
And things seem hard or tough
  Gdim         G     E7
And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft
    A7             D7
And you feel that you've had quite enough....


Verse 1:
    G         Gm7      G6      Gm7
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
   G6       G7        D7
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour
    D7     D7sus4      D7       D7sus4
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
 D7                G    D7
A sun that is the source of all our power
  G        Gm7      G6        Gm7
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
  E7             Am
Are moving at a million miles a day
   C      Eb      G         E7
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour
    A7    D7       G
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'


Verse 2:
  G    Gm7       G6       Gm7
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
    G6        G7         D7
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side
  D7      D7sus4     D7          D7sus4
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick
      D7                    G   D7
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide
   G        Gm7       G6        Gm7
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point
   E7                Am
We go 'round every two hundred million years
    C     Eb     G      E7
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
    A7     D7    G
In this amazing and expanding universe

Instrumental:
G Gm7 G6 Gm7
G6 G7 D7
D7 D7sus4 D7 D7sus4
D7 G D7
G Gm7 G6 Gm7
E7 Am
C Eb G
D7 G D7

Verse 3:
  G    Gm7        G6      Gm7
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
  G6      G7       D7
In all of the directions it can whizz
  D7       D7sus4  D7         D7sus4
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know
    D7                   G       D7
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is
  G           Gm7     G6    Gm7
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure
  E7             Am
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
  C          Eb       G        E7
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
        A7    D7      G
'Cause there's bugger-all down here on Earth!
