Unicorn Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

  C A long time ago when tDmhe earth was green

  G There was more kinds of anCimals than you'd ever seen

  C They'd run around free whDmile the world was being born

  C But the loveliest of them alDml waGs theC u--ni--corn

Chorus

  C There was green alligatDmors and long necked geese

  G Some humpy back camels and Csome chimpanzees

  C Cats and rats and elephants butDm sure as you're born

  C The loveliest of all wasDm theG u--nCi--corn

But the Lord seen some sinnin' and it caused him pain

He said "Stand back - I'm gonna make it rain

So hey brother Noah, I'll tell you what to do,

Build me a floating zoo."

Chorus

And you take two alligators and a couple of geese

Two hump back camels and two chimpanzees

Two cats, two rats, two elephants but sure as you're born

Noah, don't you forget my u--ni--corn.

Now Noah was there and he answered the callin'

And he finished up the ark as the rain started fallin'

And he marched in the animals two by two

And he sung out as they went through

Chorus

"Hey Lord, I got you two alligators and a couple of geese

Two hump back camels and two chimpanzees

Two cats, two rats, two elephants but sure as you're born

Lord, I just don't see your u--ni--corns."

Well, Noah looked out through the driving rain,

But the unicorns were hiding - playing silly games,

They were kickin' and a-spashin' while the rain was pourin'

Oh them foolish unicorns.

[Repeat second chorus]

And then the ark started moving and it drifted with the tide,

And the unicorns looked up from the rock and cried,

And the water came up and sort of floated them away,

That's why you've never seen a unicorn to this day.

Chorus

"You'll see a lot of alligators and a whole mess of geese

You'll see hump back camels and chimpanzees

You'll see cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born

You're never gonna see no u--ni--corns."
