    • Verse 1
    A 
    long 
    time 
    ago, 

    when 
    the 
    earth 
    was 
    still 
    green 

    And there were 
    more 
    kinds 
    of 
    animals 

    than 
    you've 
    ever 
    seen 

    They'd 
    run 
    around 
    free 
    while the 

    earth 
    was 
    being 
    born 

    But 
    the 
    loveliest 
    of 
    all 
    was 
    the unicorn 

    Verse 2
    There was 
    green 
    alligators 

    and 
    long- 
    necked 
    geese 

    Some 
    humpty- 
    backed 
    camels 

    and 
    some 
    chimpanzees 

    Some 
    cats 
    and 
    rats 
    and 
    elephants, 

    but 
    sure 
    as 
    you're 
    born 

    The 
    loveliest 
    of 
    all 
    was 
    the unicorn 

    Verse 3
    Now god 
    seen 
    some 
    sinnin' 

    and it 
    gave 
    him 
    pain 

    And he 
    says, 
    "stand 
    back, 

    I'm 
    going 
    to 
    make 
    it 
    rain" 

    He 
    says, 
    "hey, 
    brother 
    Noah, 

    I'll 
    tell 
    you 
    what 
    to 
    do 

    Build 
    me 
    a 
    floating 
    zoo" 

    Verse 4
    And 
    take 
    some 
    of them 
    green 
    alligators 

    and 
    long- 
    necked 
    geese 

    Some 
    humpty- 
    backed 
    camels 

    and 
    some 
    chimpanzees 

    Some 
    cats 
    and 
    rats 
    and 
    elephants, 

    but 
    sure 
    as 
    you're 
    born 

    Don't 
    you 
    forget 
    my 
    unicorn" 

    Verse 5
    Old 
    Noah 
    was 
    there 
    to 
    answer 
    the call 

    He 
    fin
    ished 
    up 
    making 
    the 
    ark 

    just 
    as the 
    rain 
    started 
    fallin' 

    He 
    marched 
    in 
    the 
    animals 

    two 
    by 
    two 

    And he 
    called 
    out 
    as 
    they 
    went 
    through 

    "Hey, 
    Lord" 

    I've 
    got 
    your 
    green 
    alligators 
    Verse 6

    and 
    long- 
    necked 
    geese 

    Some 
    humpty- 
    backed 
    camels 

    and 
    some 
    chimpanzees 

    Some 
    cats 
    and 
    rats 
    and 
    elephants, 

    but 
    Lord, 
    I'm 
    so 
    for
    lorn 

    I 
    just 
    can't 
    see 
    no 
    unicorn" 

    Verse 7
    Then 
    Noah 
    looked 
    out 

    through 
    the driving 
    rain 

    Them 
    unicorns 
    was 
    hiding, 

    play
    ing silly 
    games 

    Kicking 
    and 
    splashing 
    while 

    the 
    rain 
    was 
    pouring 

    Oh, 
    them 
    silly 
    uni
    corns 

    Verse 8
    There was 
    green 
    alligators 
    and 

    long- 
    necked 
    geese 

    Some 
    humpty- 
    backed 
    camels 

    and 
    some 
    chimpanzees 

    Noah 
    cried, 
    "close 
    the 
    doors 
    'cause 

    the 
    rain 
    is 
    pourin' 

    And we 
    just 
    can't 
    wait 
    for 
    no 
    unicorns" 

    Verse 9
    The 
    ark 
    started 
    movin', 

    it 
    drifted 
    with 
    the tide 

    Them 
    unicorns 
    looked 
    up 
    from 

    the rock 
    and 
    they 
    cried 

    And the 
    waters 
    came 
    down 
    and 
    sort 

    of floated 
    them 
    away 

    And that's 
    why 
    you'll 
    never see 
    a 
    unicorn, 

    to this 
    very 
    day 

    Verse 10
    You'll 
    see 
    green 
    alligators 
    and 

    long- 
    necked 
    geese 

    Some 
    humpty- 
    backed 
    camels 

    and 
    some 
    chimpanzees 

    Some 
    cats 
    and 
    rats 
    and 
    elephants, 

    but sure 
    as 
    you're 
    born 

    You're 
    never 
    gonna 
    see 
    no 
    uni

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
