The Unicorn Chords by Bobby Bare

Okay, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do now.
I'm gonna tell you about a unicorn.
Now who knows what a unicorn is?
Not me! _
It's a big nose with a horn.
It's a big fat_
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Um_
_ _ Goes _ up_
No, wait a minute.
And it has a horn for its nose.
Well let me tell you about it.
A [D] _
_ long time ago, [A] when the earth was green,
There [D] was more kinds of animals than you've ever seen.
And they [Am] run around free while the [G] world was being born.
_ [F] And the loveliest of all [A] was [C#] the [D] unicorn.
There was green [A] alligators and long neck geese,
Humpty-bumpty [D] camels and _ chimpanzees.
There was cats and rats and [G] elephants, but sure as you're born,
[A] The loveliest of all was the [D] unicorn.
But the Lord seen some sinning [A] and it caused him pain.
He says, stand back, I'm [D] gonna make it rain.
So hey, Brother Noah, [G] I'll tell you what to do.
[A] Go and build me a floating zoo.
And [Bm] you [C#] take, [D] um, two [A] alligators and a couple of geese,
Two humpty-bumpty camels [D] and _ chimpanzees,
Cats and rats and elephants, [G] but sure as you're born,
[A] Noah, don't forget my [D] unicorn.
Now Noah was there [A] and he answered the call.
And he finished up the ark as [D] the rain started falling.
Then he marched in the animals, [G] two by two,
And [A] sung out as they went through.
[B] Hey, [C#] Lord, I [D] got you two alligators [A] and a couple of geese,
Two humpty-bumpty camels and [D] _ chimpanzees,
Cats and rats and elephants, [G] but sure as you're born,
[A] Lord, I just don't see your [D] unicorn.
Well, Noah looked out [A] through the driving rain,
But the unicorn was hiding, [D] playing silly games.
They were kicking and a-splashing [G] in the early morning,
[A] Oh, them foolish _ [D] unicorns.
Then the ducks started ducking [A] and the snakes started snaking,
And the elephants started elephanting [D] and the boats started shaking,
The mice started squeaking [G] and the lions started roaring,
[A] _ And everyone's aboard but the [Bm] unicorn,
[F#m]
[D] I mean the green alligators [A] and the long-necked geese,
The humpty-bumpty camels [D] and the _ chimpanzees.
Noah cried, close the door, [G] because the rain is a-pouring,
[A] And we just can't wait for them, the [D] unicorns.
And then the ark started moving [A] and it drifted with the tide,
And the unicorns looked up [D] from the rock and cried,
And the water came up and sort [G] of floated them away,
And [A] that's why you've never seen a unicorn.
To [D] this day you see lots of alligators [A] and a whole mess of geese,
You see humpty-bumpty camels [D] and chimpanzees,
You see cats and rats and [G] elephants, but sure as you're born,
[A] You're never gonna see no [D] unicorn. _ _ _ _
