He saw an animal that liked to growl
E7                             Am
Big furry paws and he liked to howl
Am                          D

He saw an animal up on a hill
E7                          
Chewing' up someone's grass 
               Am
til he had his fill 
Am                        
He saw milk comin' out but
                D
 he didn't know how

He said  : "I think 
             Am
I'll call it cow"

Man gave names to all the animals

Horns on his head and

it wasn't too short
Am                                       
It looked like there wasn't anything that 
            D

"Ah
I think I'll call it a bull"

Real dirty face and a curly tail
Am                     
He wasn't too small and 
              D
he wasn't too big   
E7                        Am
"Ah, think I'll call it a pig"

Next animal that he did meet
E7                      
Had wool on his back and 
              Am
hooves on his feet
Am                                D
Eatin' grass on a mountainside so steep
E                   Am
 "I'll just call it sheep"

He saw an animal as smooth as glass
E7                             Am
Slitherin' his way through the grass
Am                             D
Saw him disappear right into a lake
E7                                Am
Daddy doesn't want to be called a snake

in the beginning, in the beginning
Am                               
Man gave names to all the animals
E7                  Am
In the beginning, long time ago

Am                               
Man gave names to all the animals
E7       E                Am
