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!

    G                  C          F             G 
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!
