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
