Verse 1
(D major) (A major) (D major) A long time ago,
when the (E minor) earth was still green
And there were (A major) more kinds of animals
than (D major) you've ever seen
They'd run around free while the
(E minor) earth was being born (G major)
But the (D major) loveliest of all was the unicorn (A major) (D major)
Verse 2
There was green alligators (D major)
and (E minor) long- necked geese
Some (A major) humpty- backed camels
and some (D major) chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants,
but (G major) sure as you're born
(E minor) The (D major) loveliest of all was the unicorn (A major)
(D major) (A major)

(D major) Now god seen some sinnin'
and it (E minor) gave him pain
And he (A major) says, "stand back,

I'll (E minor) tell you what to do
(D major) Build me a (A major) floating zoo" (D major)

And take some of them (D major) green alligators
and (E minor) long- necked geese
Some (A major) humpty- backed camels

(D major) Don't you forget my (A major) unicorn" (D major)
(A major) (D major)
Verse 5
Old Noah was there to (E minor) answer the call
He (A major) finished up making the ark
just as the (D major) rain started fallin'
He marched in the animals
(E minor) two by (G major) two
And he (D major) called out as (A major) they went through (D major)
"Hey, Lord"
I've (A major) got your (D major) green alligators
Verse 6
(D major)
and (E minor) long- necked geese
Some (A major) humpty- backed camels
and some (D major) chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants,
but (G major) Lord, I'm (E minor) so for (G major) lorn
I (D major) just can't see no unicorn" (A major) (D major)
(A major)
Verse 7
(D major) Then Noah looked out
through (E minor) the driving rain
Them (A major) unicorns was hiding,
play (D major) ing silly games
Kicking and splashing while
the (E minor) rain was pouring
(D major) Oh, them silly (A major) unicorns (D major)
Verse 8
There was (D major) green alligators and
(E minor) long- necked geese
Some (A major) humpty- backed camels
and some (D major) chimpanzees
Noah cried, "close the doors 'cause
the (E minor) rain (G major) is pourin'
And we (D major) just can't wait for (A major) no unicorns"
(D major) (A major) (D major)
Verse 9
The ark started movin',
it (E minor) drifted with the tide
Them (A major) unicorns looked up from
the rock (D major) and they cried
And the waters came down and sort
of floated (G major) them away
And that's why you'll never see a unicorn,
to this very (A major) day
Verse 10
You'll see (D major) green alligators and
(E minor) long- necked geese
Some (A major) humpty- backed camels
and some (D major) chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants,
but sure (E minor) as (G major) you're born
You're (D major) never gonna see no uni (E minor) corn (A major) (D major)
