THE UNICORN

I did'nt like the other tabs so here is something different to try.

CAPO on 3

   D                      GA long time ago when the earth was green
           A                          D              Dsus2 There was more kinds of animals than you'd ever seen
        D                         GThey'd run around free while the world was being born
         D                            A  DBut the loveliest of them all was the unicorn

CHORUS:

           D                    GThere was green alligators and long necked geese
      A                             D          Dsus2Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
      D                                GSome cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born
     D                       A  DThe loveliest of all was the unicorn.

INSTRUMENTAL:  DAD

     D                            GNow god seen some sinning and it gave him a pain
        A                               D             Dsus2And he says, stand back, "I'm going to make it rain!"
           D                      G     He says, "Hey, brother Noah I'll tell you what to do,
 D          A        DBuild me a floating zoo,"
      Dsus2"and take some of them...."
 D                    GGreen alligators and long necked geese,
      A                             D           Dsus2   Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
      D                                GSome cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born.
 D                  A  DDon't you forget my unicorn."

INSTRUMENTAL:  DAD

     D                 GOld Noah was there to answer the call,
    A                                      D                   Dsus2He finished up making the ark just as the rain started pourin'
    D                      GHe marched in the animals two by two,
        D             A         AAnd he called out as they went through,

"Hey lord,"

   D                             G    I got your green alligators and long necked geese,
      A                             D           Dsus2 Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees,
      D                                GSome cats and rats and elephants, but lord, I'm so forlorn,
   D                A  D  I just can't see no unicorn!"

INSTRUMENTAL:  DAD

      D                           GThen Noah looked out through the driving rain,
      A                     D                   Dsus2Them unicorns were hiding, playing silly games.
 D                               GKicking and splashing while the rain was pourin'
D              A  DOh, them silly unicorns!"

            D                    G  There were green alligators and long necked geese,
      A                             D            Dsus2Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
      D                                G Noah cried, "Close the door cause the rain's pourin'
    D                            A  D    And we just can't wait for those unicorn!"

INSTRUMENTAL:  DAD

     D                      GThe ark started moving, it drifted with the tides,
      A                           D                    Dsus2Them unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried.
         D                            GAnd the waters came down and sort of floated them away,

And that's why ya never seen a unicorn to this very day.

            D                    GYou'll see green alligators and long necked geese,
      A                             D             Dsus2        Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
      D                            GSome cats and rats elephants, but sure as you're born,

You're never gonna see no u--ni---corn
