[Verse]
F C/E
Went to buy me a paper at the local news-stand
Dm A#
And then I heard them laugh and say
F C/E
Look, they're gonna go flying way up to the moon now
A# F
Hey, what's it good for anyway?
[Bridge]
A#
So I said, Fellas
G
Like to ask you a thing if I may
[Chorus]
C
What about Livingstone?
G
What about all those men?
Am F
Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way
C
Tell me, wasn't it worth the while
G
Travelling up the Nile
F
Putting themselves on test
C
Didn't that help the rest?
F
Wasn't it worth it then?
C
What about Livingstone?
[Verse]
F C/E
And all of those fellas at the local news-stand
Dm A#
Didn't know what to answer or what to say
F C/E
So I told them about him, that he was just like
A# F
One of those spacemen in his way

And if you laugh at them

Then there's only a thing I can say
