[Intro 1]
[G][C][G]
[G][C][G]
[G][C][G]
[G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]I´ve been arou[C]nd
and I've seen some [G]things
People moving faster
[C]than the speed of sound
Faster [G]than the speeding bullet
People liv[C]ing like superman
All [G]day and all night
And I [C]won´t say if it´s wrong
or I won´t [G]say if it´s right
I´m pretty fast my[C]self
But I do have some [G]advice to pass along
Right [C]here in the words of this [G]song

[Chorus 1]
You [G]better not look [C]down
If you [D]want to keep on [G]flying
Put the hammer [C]down
Keep it [D]full speed [G]ahead
You better not look [C]back
Or you [D]might just wind up [G]crying
You can keep it [C]moving
If you [D]don´t look [G]down

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][C][G]
[G][C][C][G]

[Verse 2]
[G]An old girl[C]friend of mine
showed up the other day
[G]That girl have lived in love [C]and for love
And over love, and [G]under love all her life
[C]If the arrows from cupid´s bow that [G]had
Passed through her heart had been sticking
[C]Out of her body she would have looked like
A porcu[G]pine and she asked me
[C]B.B. do you think
I've lived my life [G]all wrong?
And I said: the only ad[C]vice I have to pass
Along is concealed in [G]the chorus of this song

[Chorus 2]
Girl [G]better not look [C]down
If you [D]want to keep on [G]flying
Put the hammer [C]down
Keep it [D]full speed [G]ahead
You better not look [C]back
Or you [D]might just wind up [G]crying
You can keep it [C]moving
If you [D]don´t look [G]down

[Verse 3]
[G]I was walking d[C]own the street
at sunrise one morn[G]ing
In London, England
And [C]there was a very large
Rolls Royce limou[G]sine
Pulling slowly along the [C]street
And in that Rolls Royce
was the Queen [G]England
Looking tired
Just go [C]back from a party,
and the Queen [G]leaned out and
She said: aren´t you B.B. King?
[C]she said:
Oh B.B. sometimes it´s [G]so hard
to pull things together
Could you tell [C]me
what you think I ought to do?
And [G]I said:

[Chorus 3]
You [G]better not look [C]down
If you [D]want to keep on [G]flying
Put the hammer [C]down
Keep it [D]full speed [G]ahead
Better not look [C]back
Or you [D]might just wind up [G]crying
You can keep it [C]moving
If you [D]don´t look [G]down

[Chorus 4]
You [G]better not look [C]down
If you [D]want to keep on [G]flying
Put the hammer [C]down
Keep it [D]full speed [G]ahead
Better not look [C]back
Or you [D]might just wind up [G]crying
You can keep it [C]moving
If you [D]don´t look [G]down
[Fade out]
