Whenever life gets you down Mrs Brown

And things seem hard or tough
Gdim G E7
And people are stupid obnoxious or daft

And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour
D9 D7 D D9
Thats orbiting at nineteen miles a second so it's reckoned

A sun that is the source of all our power

The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see

In an outer spiral arm at forty thousand miles an hour

Of a galaxy we call the Milky Way

It bulges in the middle sixteen thousand light-years thick
D7 D9 G D7
But out by us it's just three thousand light-years wide

We're thirty thousand light-years from Galactic Central Point

In all of the directions it can whiz

As fast as it can go the speed of light you know

Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth
