  			INTRO   C 
 
(VERSE) (C ) 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 (F) anyway 
So I said 
(Bb) Fellas, like to (G7) 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 (F) themselves on test 
Didn't that (C ) help the rest 
Wasn't it (F) worth it then 
What about (C ) Livingstone
