Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]
[E]
[Am]Now

[Verse 1]
I took the boat
out for a [E]spin,[Bm]
[E]Cause God wanted to cleanse
the world of [Am]sin.[E]
He said [Dm]take two of every
[E]animal you [Am]know,
And the story [E]goes that after months afloat
[Am]Noah sent a [Dm]special bird outside
to [Am]look around for land
[E]The bird brought back an olive branch
[Bm]and [E]rubbed it [Am]in his hand
They [Dm]thought it would sound [E]prettier
[Dm]to s[Am]ay it wasn't so
But everybody [E]knows it
was an old black goat
[Am]Ha! [Dm]Ha![E][Am][E]
Everybody knows it was
an old black [Am]crow
Early in the mornin' [E]just
before the show
Before the sun comes [Bm]tearin' [E]up
and show[Am]in' off its gold
[E]Who in all [Dm]the world is sleepin'
before [Am]any peepin' foe?
[E]Who wakes up the cockerel,
[Bm]the [E]old black crow[Am]?
[Dm]Caw! [Am]Caw!
[E]No one will give cred[Bm]it
to an [E]old black crow
[Am]Caw![Dm] Caw![Am]
No [E]one will admit it was an old black
[Am]crow[E]
[Am][Dm][Am]
[E]
[Am]Out around the country,
though all [E]that flappin's fun
A bird sometimes will rest his wings
an[Am]d settle in the sun
He likes [Dm]to put his feet down flat
on [Am]an even piece of ground
Of [E]course a bird loves company
and [Am]other birds around
[E]He gather[Dm]s with the flock
to con[Am]gregate in [E]fields
Feasting on the corn and wheat
and [Am]all that nature yields
Does [Dm]the farmer see the squirrels?
[Am]No, no, no!
[E]He shoots the biggest thing he sees,
the old black [Am]roe[Dm][Am][E]
Everybody want[Bm]s to shoot the
[E]old black [Am]bull[Dm][Am]
Every[E]body loves [Bm]to s[E]hoot the old
black [Am]bull[Dm][Am]
[E]Everybody want[Bm]s to shoot the
[E]old black [Am]bull[Dm][Am]
[E]Arrrrgh!
Everybody want[Bm]s to see
the [E]old... ...[Bm]Black[E]... [Am]...Road.
