The Galaxy Song

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

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

[Verse 3]
                           G  
Our Galaxy itself contains 100 
         C
billion stars
             D7                 
It's 100,000 light years side to 
 G
side

                 Dm        G      
It bulges in the middle 16,000 
         Dm
light years thick
           G                       
But out by us it's just 3,000 light
       C
 years wide

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

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

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