[N] [Bb] [D]
A long time ago, when the earth [Em] was green,
[A] Why, there was more kinda [D] animals than you've ever seen.
And they just ran around free, while the earth was being [Em] born,
[D] And the loveliest of them all was the unicorn.
There was green alligators [Em] and long-neck geese,
[A] Some humpty-back camels and [D] some chimpanzees,
Some cats and rats and elephants, but [Em] sure as you're born,
The [D] loveliest of all was the unicorn.
[A] [D]
Now God's seen some sin, and it gave [Em] him pain,
And he says, [D] stand back, cause I'm gonna make it rain.
He said, hey brother Noah, I'll tell [Em] you what you do,
You [D] build me [A] a floating [D] zoo, and take some
Green alligators and long [Em]-neck geese,
[A] Some humpty-back camels and [D] some chimpanzees,
Some cats and rats and elephants, [Em] but sure as you're born,
[D] Don't you forget my unicorn.
[A] [D]
Well, old Noah was there [Em] to answer the call,
And [A] he finished up making the ark just as [D] the rain started to fall.
He marched in the animals, [Em] two by two,
And he [D] called out [A] as they went [Dm] through, hey Lord, I got you
[D] Green alligators and long [Em]-neck geese,
Some [A] humpty-back camels and [D] some chimpanzees,
Some cats and rats and elephants, [Em] but Lord, I'm so forlorn,
[D] I just can't see no unicorn.
[A]
[D] And then Noah looked out [E] through the driving rain,
[Am] And them unicorns were hiding, [D] playing silly little games,
Kicking and a-splashing while [Em] the rain was pouring
[D] Over them silly unicorns.
Green alligators and [Em] long-neck geese,
Some [A] humpty-back camels and some [D]
chimpanzees,
Noah cried, close the [Em] door, cause the rain's a-pouring,
[D] And we just can't wait on an old unicorn.
Well, the ark started moving, and [Em] it drifted with the tide,
[A] The unicorns looked up from the rocks, [D] and they cried,
And the waters came down, and just sort of [Em] floated them away,
And that's why [B] you've never seen a unicorn [Bb] to this very day.
[A]
You'll see [D] green alligators and [Em] long-neck geese,
[A] Some humpty-back camels and [D] some chimpanzees,
Some cats and rats and elephants, but [Em] sure as you're born,
[D] You're never gonna see [E] no unicorn.
