Chords with lyrics

Verse:
C             Dm
A long time ago, when the earth was still green,
      G                 C
There were more kinds of animals than you've ever seen;
C                Dm
They'd run around free while the earth was being born,
  C            Dm  G  C
The loveliest of all was the U----ni--corn.


Verse:
     C          Dm
There was green alligators and long-necked geese,
   G               C
Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees,
C                   Dm
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born,
  C            Dm  G  C
The loveliest of all was the U----ni--corn.

Verse:
  C              Dm
Now God seen some sinnin' and it gave Him pain.
    G                C
And He said, "Stand back, I'm going to make it rain."
C                 Dm
He said, "Hey, brother Noah, I'll tell you what to do.
C     Dm  G  C
Build me a floa--ting zoo."


Verse:
  C                   Dm
And take some of them green alligators and long-necked geese,
   G               C
Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees,
   C                Dm
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born,
C          Dm  G  C
Don't you forget my U----ni--corn"


Verse:
  C         Dm
Old Noah was there to answer the call,
  G                   C
He finished up making the Ark just as the rain started fallin',
  C           Dm
He marched in the animals two by two
    G            C
And he called out as they went through.

Verse:
   C                       Dm
"Hey, Lord: I've got you two green alligators and a couple of geese,
   G               C
Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees,
C                   Dm
Some cats and rats and elephants, but Lord, I'm so forlorn,
 C         Dm  G  C
I just can't see no U----ni--corn."


Verse:
  C            Dm
Old Noah looked out into the driving rain,
   G          C
Them Unicorns was hiding, playing silly games,
C                Dm
Kicking and splashing while the rain was pouring,
C       Dm  G  C
Oh, them silly U----ni--corn!


Verse:
   C            Dm
There was green alligators and long-necked geese,
   G               C
Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees,
C                    Dm
Noah cried, "Close the doors 'cause the rain is pourin',
  C             Dm  G  C
And we just can't wait for no U----ni--corns."


Verse:
  C           Dm
The Ark started movin', it drifted with the tide,
G                C
Them Unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried,
    C             Dm
And the waters came down and sorta floated them away,
C               Dm  G  C
That's why you'll never see a U----ni--corns, to this very day.

   G               C
Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees,
   C                Dm
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born,
C             Dm  G  C
You're never gonna see no U----ni--corns..
