...THE MEANING OF LIFE... by Monty Python
-------------------------................

*from 'Monty Python Sings' (1989)*


Intro:

D7

Verse 1:

G Gmaj7
Why are we here? What's life all a-bout?
G7 C
Is God really real? Or is there some doubt?
Cm G7 F#7 F7 E7
Well, to-night, we're going to sort it all out;
A7 D7 G (n.C)
For to-night, it's 'The Meaning of Life'.

Verse 2:

G Gmaj7
What's the point, of all this hoax?
G7 C
Is it the chicken and the egg time? Are we just yolks?
Cm G7 F#7 F7 E7
Or, per-haps, we're just one of God's lit-tle jokes;
A7 D7 G (n.C)
Well, �a c'est; le 'Meaning of Life'.

Chorus 1:

C G G7
Is life just a game, where me make up the rules,
D7 G G/F# Em G/B
While we're searching for something to say?
C G E7 A7
Or are we just simply spiralling coils, of self-replicating DNA?
D7 D+
(Nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay).

Verse 3:

G Gmaj7
In this 'life'; what is our fate?
G7 C
Is there Heaven and Hell? Do we reincarnate?
Cm G7 F#7 F7 E7
Is mankind e-volving, or is it too late?
A7 D7 G (n.C)
Well, tonight; here's 'The Meaning of Life'.

Chorus 2:

C G G7
For millions, this 'life' is a sad vale of tears;
D7 G G/F# Em G/B
Sitting 'round, with nothing to say.
C
While the scientists say;
G E7 A7
We're just simply spiralling coils, of self-replicating DNA.
D7 D+
(Nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay).

Verse 4:

G Gmaj7
So, just why? Why are we here?
G7 C
And just what, what, what, what do we fear?
Cm G7 F#7 F7 E7
Well, ce soir, for a change; it will all be made clear;
A7 D7 G
For this, is 'The Meaning of Life'.
E7
C'est le sens, de la vie,
A7 D7 G
This is 'The Meaning of Life'.
