The Song About Everything (Lyrics and chords)

(after the galaxy song of eric idle

[Spoken]

[F] Whenever some one says there is no God

Or that at bottom there is nothing but pitiless [Bb] indifference.”

Yet you can’t help but wonder [F] because of wonder

If another explanation for everything would make more [Bb] sense …

[Sung]

[F] Just re - [Bb] member that the universe and everything that is

could not have come from something that is [F] not

Nothing gives you nothing and nothing isn’t anything

and everything that is is quite a [Bb] lot.

To say that one day nothing decided to become

In a [G7] flash of light everything we [Cm] see

Is [Bb] quite absurd but I [G7] know I’ve heard

 people [C7] say that they be – [F] lieve this fanta [Bb] sy[F]

We [Bb] know the big bang happenned - the science is quite clear

but it doesn’t much give us a valid [F] cause

not to mention all the detail and ratios bound up

in the constants and universal [Bb] laws

like gravity if it were just a smidge – a tiny bit

too [G7] weak or even worse a little [Cm] strong

then [Bb] hyrdogen forever or black [G7] holes everwhere

would  [C7] stop me from [F] singing you this [Bd] song[F]

So -[Bb] who kicked off the universe and set it straight and narrow

Please don’t say nothing any - [F] more

Someone powerful and good – wise beyond all measure

You can call him Jesus, God or even [Bb] Lord

Outside time and space – transcendent and almighty

It is [G7] written that he said: let there [Cm] be…

Then [Bb] light became apparent – and everything [G7] else was next my friend

And I be [C7] lieve that that in [F]cludes you and [Bb] me
