[Intro] G C F G G C F G G C F G G C F G [Verse]
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
[Chorus]
     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
[Chorus]
       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!
[Verse]
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:
[Chorus]
     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!
[Chorus]
     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!
