The Unicorn

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

[Chorus]
         C                     Dm
There was green alligators and long 
necked geese
     G                          
Some humpty back camels and some 
 C
chimpanzees
C                               
Cats and rats and elephants but sure
Dm
 as you're born
    C                       
The loveliest of all was the 
 Dm G   C
u--ni--corn

[Verse 2]
        C                          
But the Lord seen some sinnin' and 
   Dm
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                         
Two humpty back camels and two 
 C
chimpanzees

    C                            
Two cats, two rats, two elephants 
     Dm
but sure as you're born
      C                  
Noah, don't you forget my 
 Dm G   C
u--ni--corn.

[Verse 3]
    C                     Dm
Now Noah was there and he answered 
the call
       G                          
And he finished up the ark as the 
C
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             
"Hey Lord, I got you two alligators
         Dm
 and two long necked geese
    G                         
Two humpty back camels and two 
 C
chimpanzees
    C                            
Two cats, two rats, two elephants 
     Dm
but sure as you're born
                  C        
Lord, I just don't see your 
 Dm G   C
u--ni--corns."

[Verse 4]
      C                           
Well, Noah looked out through the 
Dm
driving rain,
        G                          
But the unicorns were hiding, they 
     C
were playing silly games,
          C                     
They were kickin' and a-spashin' 
           Dm
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                         
Two humpty back camels and two 
 C
chimpanzees
    C                            
Two cats, two rats, two elephants 
     Dm
but sure as you're born
      C                  
Noah, don't you forget my 
 Dm G   C
u--ni--corn.

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

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