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

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!
