G C F G
I've been around and I've seen some things
G C F G
People moving faster than the speed of sound, faster than a speeding bullet
G C F G
People living like Superman, all day and all night
G C F G
And I won't say if it's wrong, or I won't say if it's right
G C F G
I'm pretty fast myself, but I do have some advice to pass along
G C F G
Right here in the words of this song
G C F G
You Better Not Look Down, if you wanna keep on flying
G C F G
Put the hammer down, keep it full speed ahead
G C F G
You better not look back, or you might just wind up crying
G C F G
You can keep it moving if you don't look down!

An old girl friend of mine showed up the other day
G C F G
That girl had lived in love and for love and over love and under love all her life
C F G
If the arrows from cupid's bow that had passed through her heart
G C F G
Had been sticking out of her body she would have looked like a porcupine
G C F G
And she asked me B.B., do you think I've lived my life all wrong?
G C F G
And I said the only advice I have to pass along is concealed in the Chorus of this song
G C F G
Girl, Better Not Look Down, if you wanna keep on flying
G C F G
Put the hammer down, keep it full speed ahead
G C F G
You better not look back, or you might just wind up crying
G C F G
You can keep it moving if you don't look down!
G C F G
I was walking down the street at sunrise one morning in London, England
G C F G
And there was a very large Rolls Royce limousine pulling slowly along the street
C F G
And in that Rolls Royce was the Queen of England, looking tired
C F G
Just got back from a party, and the Queen leaned out and she said: Aren't you B.B. King?
C F G
She said: Oh B.B., sometimes it's so hard to pull things together
G C F G
Could you tell me what you think I ought to do? And I said:
G C F G
You Better Not Look Down, if you wanna keep on flying
G C F G
Put the hammer down, keep it full speed ahead
G C F G
You better not look back, or you might just wind up crying
G C F G
You can keep it moving if you don't look down!
G C F G
You Better Not Look Down, if you wanna keep on flying
G C F G
Put the hammer down, keep it full speed ahead
G C F G
You better not look back, or you might just wind up crying
G C F G
You can keep it moving if you don't look down!
