The Unicorn Chords by The Irish Rovers

_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
[F] _ _ _ A long time ago [Gm] when the earth was green, [C] and there was more kinds of [F] animals than you'd ever seen.
They'd run around free [Bb] while the earth was being born, [F] but the loveliest of them all was [C] the [F] unicorn.
There was green _ alligators [Gm] and long-necked geese, [C] some Humpty-Bet Camels [F] and some _ _ chimpanzees,
some cats and rats and elephants, [Bb] but sure as you're born, [F] the loveliest of all [C] was the [F]
unicorn.
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ [C] _
[F] _ _ _ _ Now God's seen some sinning, [Gm] and it gave him pain, [C] and he says, stand back, [F] I'm going to make it rain.
He says, hey brother Noah, [Gm] I'll tell you what to do, [F] _
[C] build me a floating [F] zoo, and take some of them green _ [Gm] alligators and long-necked geese.
[C] Some Humpty-Bet Camels and [F] some _ chimpanzees, some cats and rats and elephants, [Bb] but sure as you're born, [F] don't you forget [C] my _ [F]
unicorn.
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ [C] _
[F] _ _ _ _ Old Noah was there [Gm] to answer the call, [C] he finished up making the ark [F] just as the rain started falling.
He marched in the animals [Bb] two by two, [F] and he called [C] out as they [F] went through, hey Lord, I got you green _ [Gm] alligators and long-necked geese.
[C] Some Humpty-Bet Camels [F] and some _ chimpanzees, some cats and rats and elephants, [Bb] but Lord I'm so forlorn, [F] I just can't see no [C] [F] unicorn.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ [C] _
[F] _ _ _ _ Then Noah looked out [Gm] through the driving rain, [C] them unicorns were hiding, [F] playing silly games, kicking and splashing [Gm] while the rain was pouring.
[F] Oh them silly [C] _ _ [F] _ unicorns, those green _ alligators [Gm] and long-necked geese, [C] some Humpty-Bet Camels [F] and some _ chimpanzees.
Noah cried close the door, [Bb] cause the rain is pouring, [F] and we just can't wait [C] for no [F]
unicorn.
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ [C] _
[F] _ _ _ _ The ark started moving, [Gm] it drifted with the tides, [C] then unicorns looked up [F] from the rocks and they cried, and the waters came down and [Bb] sort of floated them away.
And that's why you never see any [A] unicorn [C] to this very day.
_ [D] _ [Am] [F] You'll see green _ [Gm] alligators and long-necked geese, [C] some Humpty-Bet Camels and [F] some _ chimpanzees, some cats and rats and [Bb] elephants, but sure as you're born, [F] you're never going to see [C] no _ _ [F] unicorn. _ _
