The Galaxy Song

     C                    G             C
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
             F                     G   Dm
Revolving at nine hundred miles an hour
     G           Dm               G              Dm
It's orbiting at nineteen miles a second so it's reckoned
  G                                 C
A sun that is the source of all our power

[Verse 2]
                    G              C
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
    A7                          Dm
Are moving at a million miles a day
      F            F#m          G                 A
In an outer spiral arm at forty thousand miles an hour
       D         G              C
Of the Galaxy we call the Milky Way

[Verse 3]
                           G           C
Our Galaxy itself contains 100 billion stars
             D7                  G
It's 100,000 light years side to side
                 Dm        G               Dm
It bulges in the middle 16,000 light years thick
           G                              C
But out by us it's just 3,000 light years wide

[Verse 4]
                              G                C
We're 30,000 light years from galactic central point
      A7                      Dm
We go round every 200 million years
        F         D           C            A
And our Galaxy is only one of millions and billions
        D7          G            C
In this amazing and expanding Universe

[Verse 5]
                             G             C
Our universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
              G          F      G    Dm
In all of the directions it can whiz
   G              Dm     G7                 Dm
As fast as it can go the speed of light you know
   G7                                    C
12 million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is

[Verse 6]
                         G            C
So, remember when you're feeling very small and insecure
    A7                         Dm
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
    F                                  C               A7
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
           D                     G               C     C
Cause I'm afraid that we've been cheated here on Earth
