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