[D7]Just re[G]member that you’re standing on a planet that’s evolving revolving at nine hundred miles an [D7]hour [D7]And orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it’s reckoned A sun that is the source of all our [G]power

[G]The sun and you and me, and all the stars that we can see Are [E7]moving at a million miles a [C]day In an [G]outer spiral arm, at forty [G]thousand miles an hour Of the [D7]galaxy we call the Milky [G]Way [D7] [G]

[G]Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars It’s a hundred thousand light years side to [D7] side [D7]It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick But out by us it’s just three thousand light years [G]wide

[G]We’re thirty thousand light years from galactic central point We go [E7]round every two hundred million [C]years And our [G]galaxy itself is one of [G]millions of billions In this [D7]amazing and expanding uni[G]verse [D7] [G]

[G]The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding In all of the directions it can [D7]whiz [D7]As fast as it can go, at the speed of light you know Twelve million miles a minute and that’s the [G]fastest speed there is
