The Unicorn

   C                      Dm
A long time ago when the earth was green
          G                          C
There was more kinds of animals than you'd ever seen
       C                         Dm
They'd run around free while the world was being born
         C                            Dm G   C
But the loveliest of them all was the u--ni--corn

[Chorus]
         C                     Dm
There was green alligators and long necked geese
     G                           C
Some humpty back camels and some chimpanzees
C                               Dm
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 2]
        C                             Dm
But the Lord seen some sinnin' and it caused him pain
         G                      C
He said "Stand back - I'm gonna make it rain
   C                      Dm
So hey brother Noah, I'll tell you what to do,
C          Dm  G    C
Build me a floating zoo."

[Chorus]
         C                      Dm
You take two alligators and two long necked geese
    G                          C
Two humpty back camels and two chimpanzees
    C                                 Dm
Two cats, two rats, two elephants but sure as you're born
      C                   Dm G   C
Noah, don't you forget my u--ni--corn.

[Verse 3]
    C                     Dm
Now Noah was there and he answered the call
       G                          C
And he finished up the ark as the rain started to fall
       C                      Dm
And he marched in the animals two by two
       C           Dm   G    C
And he sung out as they went through

[Chorus]
                     C                      Dm
"Hey Lord, I got you two alligators and two long necked geese
    G                          C
Two humpty back camels and two chimpanzees
    C                                 Dm
Two cats, two rats, two elephants but sure as you're born
                  C         Dm G   C
Lord, I just don't see your u--ni--corns."

[Verse 4]
      C                           Dm
Well, Noah looked out through the driving rain,
        G                               C
But the unicorns were hiding, they were playing silly games,
          C                                Dm
They were kickin' and a-spashin' while the rain was pourin'
        C       Dm G C
Oh them foolish unicorns.

[Chorus]
         C                      Dm
You take two alligators and two long necked geese
    G                          C
Two humpty back camels and two chimpanzees
    C                                 Dm
Two cats, two rats, two elephants but sure as you're born
      C                   Dm G   C
Noah, don't you forget my u--ni--corn.

[Verse 5]
             C                         Dm
And then the ark started moving and it drifted with the tide,
        G                           C
And the unicorns looked up from the rock and cried,
        C                         Dm
And the water came up and sort of floated them away,
           C                              Dm   G    C
That's why you've never seen a unicorn to this very day.

[Chorus]
               C                    Dm
But you'll see green alligators and long necked geese,
G                      C
humpty back camels and chimpanzees
           C                               Dm
You'll see cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
       C                  Dm G   C
You're never gonna see no u--ni--corns."
