INTRO
| C | % |
VERSE
Went to buy me a [F]paper at the local [C/E]news-stand
And then I [Dm]heard them laugh and [Bb]say
Look, they're gonna go [F]flying way up to the [C/E]moon now
Hey, what's it [Bb]good for any[F]way?
BRIDGE
So I said, [Bb]Fellas
Like to [G]ask you a thing if I may
CHORUS
What about [C]Livingstone?
What about [G]all those men?
Who have [Am]sacrificed their lives to lead the [F]way
Tell me, wasn't it [C]worth the while
Travelling [G]up the Nile
Putting them[F]selves on test
Didn't that [C]help the rest?
Wasn't it [F]worth it then?
What about [C]Livingstone?
VERSE
And all of those [F]fellas at the local [C/E]news-stand
Didn't know what to [Dm]answer or what to [Bb]say
So I told them a[F]bout him, that he was [C/E]just like
One of those [Bb]spacemen in his [F]way
BRIDGE
And if you [Bb]laugh at them
Then there's [G]only a thing I can say
CHORUS
What about [C]Livingstone?
What about [G]all those men?
Who have [Am]sacrificed their lives to lead the [F]way
Tell me, wasn't it [C]worth the while
Travelling [G]up the Nile
Putting them[F]selves on test
Didn't that [C]help the rest?
Wasn't it [F]worth it then?
What about [C]Livingstone?
CHORUS
What about [C]Livingstone?
(Didn't he do it, well didn't he?)
What about [G]all those men?
(Didn't he do it, well didn't he?)
Who have [Am]sacrificed their lives to lead the [F]way
Tell me, wasn't it [C]worth the while
(Didn't he do it, well didn't he?)
Travelling [G]up the Nile
(Didn't he do it?)
Putting them[F]selves on test
Didn't that [C]help the rest?
(Didn't that help them? Well, didn't it?)
Wasn't it [F]worth it then?
