[G] [A] [B] [C] A long time ago, [F] when the earth was green, [G] there was more kinds of [C] animals than you've ever seen.
They'd run around [Am] free [F] while the earth was being born, [C] but the loveliest of them [G] all was the unicorn.
[C]
[A] [G] There [C] was green [F] alligators and long-necked geese, [G] some humpty-backed [C] camels and some chimpanzees,
some cats and rats and [F] elephants, but sure as you're born, [C] the loveliest of them all [G] was the [C] unicorn.
[A] [B] [C] Well, God seen some sinnin' and [F] it gave him pain.
[G] He said, Stand back, [C] I'm gonna make it rain.
He said, Hey, [E] Brother Noah, [F] tell you what to [C] do, [G] build me a floating [C] zoo.
[G]
And take some of [C] them green [F] alligators and long-necked geese, [G] some humpty-backed [C] camels and some chimpanzees,
some cats and rats and elephants, [F] but sure as you're born, [C] don't you forget [G] my [C] unicorn.
[A] [C] Well, Noah was there to [F] answer the call.
[G] He finished up making the ark [C] just as the rain started to fall.
He marched [A#] in the [F] animals two by two [C] and he called [G] them as they ran [C] through.
Hey, Lord, I got your green alligators [F] and long-necked [G] geese, some humpty-backed camels and [C] some chimpanzees,
some cats and rats and [F] elephants, but Lord, I'm so [C] forlorn, I just can't see [G] no [C] unicorn.
[A] [G] Well, [C] Noah looked out through [F] the drivin' rain.
[G] Them unicorns was [C] hidin' and playin' silly games,
kickin' and splashin' [F] while the rain was [C] fallin'.
Oh, them silly [G]
[C] unicorns.
It was green [F] alligators and long-necked [G] geese, some humpty-backed camels and [C] some chimpanzees,
and Noah cried, [E] close the door, [F] cause the rain's [C] fallin'.
We just can't wait [G] for no [C] unicorn.
[A] [B] [C] Well, the ark started [F] movin'.
It drifted with the tide.
[G] The unicorns looked up [C] from the rocks and they cried.
And the waters came down [F] and so did the rain.
Floated them away.
[Em] And [G] that's why you never seen a unicorn to this very day.
