The Unicorn

[Verse]
G C
D long time ago when the earth was green
D G Gsus2
There was more kinds of animals than you'd ever seen
G C
They'd run around free while the world was being born
G D G
But the loveliest of them all was the unicorn

[Chorus]
G C
There was green alligators and long necked geese
D G Gsus2
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
G C
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born
G D G
The loveliest of all was the unicorn.

[Instrumental]
G D G

[Verse]
G C
Now god seen some sinning and it gave him a pain
D G Gsus2
And he says, stand back, "I'm going to make it rain!"
G C
He says, "Hey, brother Noah I'll tell you what to do,
G D G
Build me a floating zoo,"
Gsus2
"and take some of them…."

[Chorus]
G C
Green alligators and long necked geese,
D G Gsus2
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
G C
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born.
G D G
Don't you forget my unicorn."

[Instrumental]
G D G

[Verse]
G C
Old Noah was there to answer the call,
D G Gsus2
He finished up making the ark just as the rain started pourin'
G C
He marched in the animals two by two,
G D D
And he called out as they went through,

"Hey lord,"

[Verse]
G C
I got your green alligators and long necked geese,
D G Gsus2
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees,
G C
Some cats and rats and elephants, but lord, I'm so forlorn,
G D G
I just can't see no unicorn!"

[Instrumental]
G D G

[Verse]
G C
Then Noah looked out through the driving rain,
D G Gsus2
Them unicorns were hiding, playing silly games.
G C
Kicking and splashing while the rain was pourin'
G D G
Oh, them silly unicorns!"

[Chorus]
G C
There were green alligators and long necked geese,
D G Gsus2
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
G C
Noah cried, "Close the door cause the rain's pourin'
G D G
And we just can't wait for those unicorn!"

[Instrumental]
G D G

[Verse]
G C
The ark started moving, it drifted with the tides,
D G Gsus2
Them unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried.
G C
And the waters came down and sort of floated them away,

And that's why ya never seen a unicorn to this very day.

[Chorus]
G C
You'll see green alligators and long necked geese,
D G Gsus2
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
G C
Some cats and rats elephants, but sure as you're born,

You're never gonna see no u--ni---corn
