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

And if you laugh at them
B
Then there's only a thing I can say
[Chorus]
