Michael Offutt — A Mole Is A Unit

Текст песни с аккордами

    	    	Вступление

[Intro]
  F                      C
A mole is an animal that burrows in the ground
   G                          C
Or spot on your chin that you gotta shave around
            F                        C           Am
But there’s another kind of mole, of interest to me
           G                  F            C    F C
That’s the kind of mole, they use in chemistry


[Chorus]
  F                  C    G   C
A mole is a unit, or have you heard?
           G                    C        C7
Containing six times ten to the   twenty-third
         F           C             Am
That’s a six with 23 zeroes at the end
G                        F     C    F C
Much too big a number to comprehend


[Verse 1]
            F                           C
Now say you had a mole of pennies to distribute around the world
        G                        C                   C7
Give to each of the five billion grown ups, boys and girls
      F                         C               Am
There wouldn’t be a single soul down and out of luck
             G                             F        C     F C
because everybody in the world would get a trillion bucks

           F                       C
Or say you had a mole of paper and stacked it toward the sky
G                           C                 C7
Paper's awful thin but that pile would get so high,
     F                             C                  Am
It'd reach up into outer space, in fact I think you’d find,
     G                          F          C     F C
It'd go up to the moon and back 80 billion times


[Chorus]
      F                  C    G   C
And a mole is a unit, or have you heard?
           G                    C        C7
Containing six times ten to the   twenty-third
         F           C             Am
That’s a six with 23 zeroes at the end
G                        F     C    F C
Much too big a number to comprehend


[Verse 2]
       F                           C
Now suppose a mole of marshmallows fell upon the planet
     G                                        C                    C7
Over each square inch of land and sea, do you think that you could stand it?
     F                                   C                    Am
That layer would be 12 miles high and of course block out the sun
      G                       F                C     F C
We’re talking close to more 5 million trillion tons

     F                                C
Well maybe we could save ourselves if we all started eating
    G                           C                   C7
One marshmallow each second not two cause that'd be cheating
     F                              C                         Am
With 5 billion people munching, how long do you think it'd be take?
G                               F              C     F C
40 million years and that’s without a bathroom break


[Chorus]
      F                  C    G   C
And a mole is a unit, or have you heard?
           G                    C        C7
Containing six times ten to the   twenty-third
         F           C             Am
That’s a six with 23 zeroes at the end
G                        F     C    F C
Much too big a number to comprehend


[Verse 3]
      F                                      C
Let’s say you had a mole of atoms, would the pile be immense?
G                              C               C7
Should I say the answer now or leave you in suspense
     F                      C              Am
Well atoms are so very very small you understand
        G                           F            C     F C
You can hold a mole of atoms in the palm of your hand

   F                           C
So shake a little sugar in the middle of your palm
        G                          C            C7
Now you don’t want to spill it, so try and stay calm
    F                      C         Am
You hardly can imagine and barely realize
          G                                       F               C     F C
There are more sugar molecules in that sugar than stars up in the sky


[Chorus]
      F                  C    G   C
And a mole is a unit, or have you heard?
           G                    C        C7
Containing six times ten to the   twenty-third
         F           C             Am
That’s a six with 23 zeroes at the end
G                        F     C
Much too big a number to comprehend
