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...
To play this song it's important to first find the right key,
then unlock the piano lid, and start playing!  Easy!!!
N.B. 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 and fret positions are relative to the capo:

[Intro]
C#dim                         G
       Whenever life gets you down, (Mrs. Brown)
    C#dim               G
And things seem hard or tough,
    C#dim                   G          E7
And people are stupid, ob - noxious or daft,
        A7                             D7
And you feel that you've had quite e - nough------!

[Verse 1]
             G                  Gmaj7         G6                G
Just ...re - member that you're standing on a planet that's e - volving,
         G               G6      G7       D7
And re - volving at nine hundred miles an hour,
                   Am7              D7              Am7
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
  D7              Am7               G       D7
A sun that is the source of all our power!

[Verse 2]
    G                Gmaj7             G6                G
The sun, and you and me,   and all the stars that we can see,
G * G/F# G/F     E            E7              Am         C            C#dim
             Are moving, at a million miles a day, in an outer spiral arm,
         G                 E7           Am7       D7             G
At forty thousand miles an hour, 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,
                 Am7             D7                   Am7
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
            D7                  Am7                  G      D7
But, out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide!

[Verse 4]
      G               Gmaj7                 G6             G
We're thirty thousand light years from ga - lactic central point,
G * G/F# G/F     E               E7              Am
          We go 'round every two hundred million years,
        C         C#dim       G           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              G6               G
The--- universe it - self 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                    G
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is!

[Verse 7]
D7      G                   Gmaj7        G6             G
So re - member, 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#dim          G               E7
And pray that there's in - telligent life somewhere up in space,
               Am7        D7           G
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth!
