Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Our whole  universe  was in a hot dense state,
 Then nearly fourteen  billion years  ago expansion started. Wait...
 The Earth  began to cool,
 The autotrophs began  to drool,
 Neanderthals  developed  tools,
 We built a wall  (we built  the pyramids),
Math,  science, history, unraveling  the mysteries,
 That all  started with  the big bang!
 "Since the dawn  of man"  is really not that long,
 As every galaxy  was formed  in less time  than it takes  to sing  this song.
 A fraction  of a second  and the elements were made.
 The bipeds  stood up straight,
 The dinosaurs  all met  their fate,
 They tried to leap  but they were late
 And they all died  (they froze  their asses  off)
 The oceans  and pangea
 See ya, wouldn't  wanna be ya
 Set in motion  by the same  big bang!
 It all started  with the big  BANG!
It's  expanding  ever outward  but one day
It  will cause  the stars to go  the other way,
Collapsing ever  inward, we won't be here,  it wont be hurt
Our  best and brightest  figure that  it'll make an even  bigger bang!
Australopithecus  would really  have been  sick of us
Debating  out while here  they're catching deer  (we're catching  viruses)
Religion  or astronomy, Encarta, Deuteronomy
 It all  started with  the big  bang!
 Music  and mythology, Einstein and  astrology
 It all  started with  the big  bang!
 It all  started with  the big  BANG!
