[Verse 1]
[D]A l[A]ong[D] time ago,
when the [Em]earth was still green
And there were [A]more kinds of animals
than [D]you've ever seen
They'd run around free while the
[Em]earth was being [G]born
But the [D]loveliest of all was [A]the unicorn[D]

[Verse 2]
There was green [D]alligators
and [Em]long- necked geese
Some [A]humpty- backed camels
and some [D]chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants,
but [G]sure as you're born
[Em]The love[D]liest of all was the u[A]nicorn
[D][A]

[Verse 3]
[D]Now god seen some sinnin'
and it [Em]gave him pain
And he [A]says, "stand back,
I'm going to [D]make it rain"
He says, "hey, brother Noah,
I'll [Em]tell you what to do
[D]Build me a [A]floating [D]zoo"

[Verse 4]
And take some of them [D]green alligators
and [Em]long- necked geese
Some [A]humpty- backed camels
and some [D]chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants,
but [G]sure as you're born
[D]Don't you forget my [A]unicorn"[D]
[A][D]

[Verse 5]
Old Noah was there to [Em]answer the call
He [A]finished up making the ark
just as the [D]rain started fallin'
He marched in the animals
[Em]two [G]by two
And he [D]called out as [A]they went [D]through
"Hey, Lord"
I've [A]got your [D]green alligators

[Verse 6]
[D]
and [Em]long- necked geese
Some [A]humpty- backed camels
and some [D]chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants,
but [G]Lord, I'm [Em]so forlo[G]rn
I [D]just can't see no [A]unicorn"[D]
[A]

[Verse 7]
[D]Then Noah looked out
through [Em]the driving rain
Them [A]unicorns was hiding,
[D]playing silly games
Kicking and splashing while
the [Em]rain was pouring
[D]Oh, them [A]silly uni[D]corns

[Verse 8]
There was [D]green alligators and
[Em]long- necked geese
Some [A]humpty- backed camels
and some [D]chimpanzees
Noah cried, "close the doors 'cause
the [Em]rain [G]is pourin'
[D]And we just can't wait for [A]no unicorns"
[D][A][D]

[Verse 9]
The ark started movin',
it [Em]drifted with the tide
Them [A]unicorns looked up from
[D]the rock and they cried
And the waters came down and sort
[G]of floated them away
And that's why you'll never see a unicorn,
to this very [A]day

[Verse 10]
You'll see [D]green alligators and
[Em]long- necked geese
Some [A]humpty- backed camels
and some [D]chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants,
[Em]but sure as [G]you're born
You're [D]never gonna see no [Em]uni [A]corn[D]
