Clint plays in key Bb
This was transposed to key of C
[Verse 1]
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#dim7 C 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
[Solo]

[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 G7 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
