[E] Well, Eve told Adam, [A#] snakes I've had them, [Am] let's get out of [C#m] here.
[E] Raised his family someplace out of town.
They left the garden just in time [F#] with the landlord [E] cursing right behind.
[G#m] They headed east.
They finally settled [E] down.
Oh, [A] one thing led to another.
[E] Bunch of sons, one killed his brother.
They [F#] kicked him out with [Bm] nothing but [G#m] his clothes.
[E] Now the human race [C#m]
survives because [Am] those brothers all [E] found wives.
[G#m] But where they came from ain't nobody [E] know.

[E] Well, Charles Darwin looked so [Am] far into the [E] way things are [B] that he caught a glimpse of
[A] God's [E] unfolding plan.
God said, I'll [Gm] make some [A#] DNA.
[F#] They'll use it [E] anyway.
They [B] want some paramecium right [E] up to man.
Yes, [A] they'll have sex.
They'll mix up sections [E] of their code and have mutations.
[F#] The whole thing works like [Gm] clockwork [B] over time.
[E] I'll just sit back in the shade [F#] while everyone [E] gets laid.
[B] That's what I call [A] intelligent [E] design.
[B] [E]
