CAPO UP 1 D FOR Eb
D - A - D
D Em
1. A long time ago when the earth was green,
A D
there was more kinds of animals than you'd ever seen.
D D7 Em G
They'd run around free while the earth was being born,
D A D
but the loveliest of them all was the unicorn.
D Em
There was green alligators and long - necked geese,
A D
some humpy back camels and some chimpanzees,
D D7 Em G
some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born,
D A D - A - D
the loveliest of all was the unicorn.
D Em
2. And God seen some sinning and it gave Him pain,
A D
and He says, "Stand back, I'm going to make it rain!"
D D7 Em G
He says, "Hey, brother Noah, I'll tell you what to do,
D A D - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
build me a floating zoo, and take some of them ...
D Em
Green alligators and long - necked geese,
A D
some humpy back camels and some chimpanzees,
D D7 Em G
some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born,
D A D - A - D
don't you forget my unicorns !
D Em
3. Old Noah was there to answer the call,
A D
he finished up making the ark just as the rain started to fall.
D D7 Em G
He marched in the animals two by two,
D A D
and he called out as they went through. Hey, Lord ...
D Em
I’ve got you green alligators and long - necked geese, A D
some humpy back camels and some chimpanzees,
D D7 Em G
Some cats and rats and elephants, but Lord, I'm so forlorn, D A D - A - D
I just can't see no unicorns."
D Em
4. And Noah looked out through the driving rain,
A D
them unicorns were hiding, playing silly games,
D D7 Em G
kicking and splashing while the rain was falling,
D A D
oh, them silly unicorns.
D Em
There was green alligators and long - necked geese,
A D
some humpy back camels and some chimpanzees,
D D7 Em G
Noah cried, "Close the door because the rain is falling,
D A D - A - D
and we just can't wait for no unicorns!"
D Em
5. The ark started moving, it drifted with the tide,
A D
the unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried.
D D7 Em G
And the waters came down and sort of floated them away,
D - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
and that's why you never see unicorns to this very day.
D Em
You’ll see green alligators and long - necked geese,
A D
some humpy back camels and some chimpanzees,
D D7 Em G
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born,
D A A7 D
you're never gonna see no u...ni...corns.
