[Verse 2] Our earth which had its birth almost five billion years a - go From out of a col - lapsing cloud of gas Grew life which was quite new and e - ventually led to you In only 3.5 ...billion years or less! [Verse 3] De - oxyribonu - cleic acid helps us repli - cate And randomly mu - tate from day to day We left the seas and climbed the trees m7 And our biolo - gies ...con - tinued to - volve through N ! [Verse 4] We’re 98 .9 per cent the same as chimpan - zees Whose trees we left three million years a - go To wander swapping genes out of Africa Which means ...we’re re - lated to everyone we know! ("Oo ’ello love!") [Verse 5 and 6 - Waltz time rhythm] Life is quite strange life is quite weird Life is really quite odd Life from a star ...is far more biz - arre Than an old bearded bloke they call God! [Verse 6] So gaze at the sky and start asking why... ...You’re even here on this ball For though life is fraught the odds are so short You’re lucky ...to be here at all! e |------------| B |------------| G |------------| D |---0---2---4---| A |------------| E |------------| [Verse 7 - Back to 4/4 rhythm] Standing on a planet which is spinning ’round a star One of just a billion trillion suns In a Universe that’s ninety billion light years side to side Wondering where the heck it all came from! [Verse 8] You’ve a tiny little blink of life to try and under - stand... ...What on earth is really going on In bi - ology and chemistry which made you you and made me me But don’t ask me ...I only wrote the song!
