_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ I saw an ad in the newspaper, _ caught my eye.
I said, come on, baby, this sounds like a typical union ad. _
[Bb] Said, volunteers [Bbm] wanted for a very special trip.
Took a move with Mother Nature on a big wooden ship.
[Gb] Took a taxi to the river, in case any places were free.
There was an old guy with [E] a big, [Gb] nimmy kind of creature as far away I could see.
This old guy was the boss, said, I won't tell you no lie,
but there's more to this [E] journey than [Fm] is apparent to the [Bbm] eye.
So he heard God's message on the [F] radio,
that it was gonna rain forever, and he told him to go.
I [Ebm] was actually one to worry, [Gb] I'll be a father to you all.
I'll stand for you, a [E] baby animal, [Fm] no matter how small.
[Gb] I'll leave from a sister's [Fm] school, I've got to [Ebm] resume.
I [Bb] can't see nobody [E] better, so you'll just [Bb] have to do.
Just [Gb] _ tell me something [F] before it's too late,
and [Ebm] we'll turn around and get [Gb] there, I'll say this is [Bbm] home.

_ Rock [Bbm] City, Rock City, _
_ Rock City, Rock City, _
[Bb] _ Rock City, _ _ [F] _ _
_ Rock City,
Rock City, Rock City.
For 40 days, 40 long nights,
I never seen rain like it, it looked like our [F] old friend was being right.
He had more time to worry, though there was just too much to do.
Between the signified monkey and the kangaroo,
_ and [Ebm] I actually watched all the [Gb] animals, maybe to see them through.
There were a million human [E] slaves in [Fm] a big floating zoo. _
[Bb] _ Yeah, baby, I've been through some big rips,
but it seems this old man is on some power trip.
[F] I [Ebm] said, no, no, [Gb] sugar, you must [E] be wrong.
[Gb]
I mean, look at the size [Fm] of this boat, real.
We're [Gb] as safe as houses, [C] safe as mother's [Ebm] milk.
[E] He's as cool as November, smooth [Bb] as China silk. _
[Gb] He's God's best friend, he's [F] got a seat on the [Ebm] board. _
[Gb] Life may [E] be [F] tough, but we're sailing
[Bb] with the Lord, Rock City, Rock City, _
[Bbm] _ Rock [Eb] City, Rock [Bb] City, _
_ Rock City, [Bbm] Rock City, _
[Bb] _ [F] Rock City, Rock City. _
_ Woke up this morning and something had changed,
like [Bb] the room in my [Bbm] house had just been _ _ rearranged.
[Gb] It stopped raining and I know the guy's kind,
but it's been staying much [E] longer.
I'm [F] gonna lose my mind.
[Bb] Said he had a mission for his favorite [F] duck.
To see if there was any mercy from this little guy above. _
[Gb] The vine dried and away the white bird flew.
He didn't need no company, [Fm] just a rock would do.
[Gb] The duck came back to [F] roost, he flew down the twig.
There [Bb] was manna from heaven and man big had [Eb] blown his gig.
[Bb] _
[Gb] But the rock's too small, he [F] said, can't you see?
I [Gb] said it's just perfect [E] for [Bb] her, _ _ _ _ it's perfect for me.
Rock City, Rock City, it's perfect for me.
