The Galaxy Song (4#dim 1 6 2 5 1) Key of C *Intro* (Spoken... music creeps in towards the end...) Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown And things seem hard or tough And people are stupid, obnoxious, or daft, And you feel that you've had quite enough... (G) (played in a simple bass-note/chord form in 4) *Verse I* G G7 C Just re-member that you're standing on a planet that's evolving C G And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour G7 That s orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned, C a sun that is the source of all our power. C The sun and you and me, and all the stars that we can see A7 F Are moving a million miles a day F7 C In an outer spiral arm at forty thousand miles an hour G7 C of the galaxy we call the Milky Way. (chords same for all verses) *Verse II* Our galaxy itself contains a hundred million stars, It's a hundred thousand light-years side to side, It bulges in the middle, sixty thousand light-years thick, But out by us it's just three thousand light-years wide. We're thirty thousand light-years from galactic central point We go 'round every two hundred million years, And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions In this amazing and expanding universe! Bridge *Verse III* The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding In all of the directions it can whiz, As fast as it can go, the speed of light, you know, Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is, So remember when you're feeling very small and insecure How amazingly unlikely is your birth, And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space, 'Cause there's bugger-all down here on Earth. -- Page 4 2/26/2007

The Race Is On Don Rollins I feel tears welling up cold and deep inside Like my heart's got a big break And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful That I may never shake You might think I'm taking it hard Since she broke me off with a call But don't wager that I'll hide the sorrow I may break right down and bawl Chorus Now the race is on and here comes pride up the back stretch Heartaches are going to the inside My tears are holding back, trying not to fall My heart's out of the running True love's scratched for another's sake The race is on and it looks like heartaches And the winner loses all One day I ventured in love never once forgetting What the final result would be Now I live in fear of waking up each morning And finding that you're gone from me There's an aching pain in my heart for the name Of the one that I hated to face Someone else came out to win her And I came out in second place Page 9 2/26/2007
