Time signatures:
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...
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 & fret positions are relative to the capo

[Intro]
C#dim7                        G
       Whenever life gets you down, (Mrs. Brown)
    C#dim7              G
And things seem hard or tough,
    C#dim7                  G          E7
And people are stupid, ob - noxious or daft,
        A7                             D7
And you feel that you've had quite e - nough...
 
[Verse 1]
N.C.      G                  Gmaj7
Just re - member that you're standing...
     G6                G
On a planet that's e - volving,
         G               G6      G7       D7
And re - volving at nine hundred miles an hour,
       D7          Am7              D7
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second,
        Am7
So it's reckoned,
  D7              Am7               G       D7
A sun that is the source of all our power
 
[Verse 2]
    G                Gmaj7
The sun, and you and me,
            G6                G
And all the stars that we can see,
(G)(G/F#)(G/F)     E           E7              Am
               Are moving at a million miles a day,
      C            C#dim7
In an outer spiral arm, 
         G                 E7
At forty thousand miles an hour,
       Am7       D7             G
Of the galaxy we call The Milky Way

[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
It bulges in the middle,
        D7                   Am7                D7
Sixteen thousand light years thick, but, out by us,
                Am7                  G      D7
It's just three thousand light years wide
 
[Verse 4]
      G               Gmaj7
We're thirty thousand light years...
          G6             G
From ga - lactic central point,
(G)(G/F#)(G/F)  E               E7              Am
         We go 'round every two hundred million years
        C         C#dim7                  E7
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions,
            Am7             D7            G
In this a - mazing and ex - panding uni - verse

[Verse 6] - Back to 4/4 time
D7  G             Gmaj7
The universe it - self...
              G6               G
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
Twelve million miles a minute,
               G
And that's the fastest speed there is
 
[Verse 7]
D7      G
So re - member,
            Gmaj7        G6             G
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#dim7
And pray that there's in - telligent life...
G               E7
Somewhere up in space,
               Am7        D7           G
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth!
