The Unicorn (Irish Rovers)

DA7
A long time ago when the earth was green There
D
were more kinds of animals than you've ever seen
D7G
And they'd run around free while the world was
D
being born, And the loveliest of all was the
A7D
unicorn. There were...
[chorus]:
    DA7
    Green alligators and long-necked
    geese, humpty-back camels and
    DD
    chimpanzees. Cats and rats and
    D7G
    elephants but sure as you're born,
DA7D
The loveliest of all was the unicorn. But the
DA7
Lord seen some sinnin' and it caused him pain He
D
says, "Stand back, I'm gonna make it rain. So
     
D7G
hey, Brother Noah, I'll tell you what to do, Go
DA7D
and build me a floating zoo. And take my...
[chorus]
DA7DD
Don't you forget my unicorns." Now Noah was
A7
there and he answered the callin', And he
D
finished up the ark as the rain started fallin',
D7G
Then he marched in the animals two by two, And
DA7D
he called out as they went through: "Hey, Lord,
I got your...
[chorus]
DD7G
cats and rats and elephants, but Lord I'm so
DA7D
forlorn, I just don't see no unicorns. Well,
DA7
Noah looked out through the drivin' rain, But
     
D
the unicorns were hidin', playin' silly games
D7G
They were kickin' and a-splashin' while the rain
DA7D
was pourin', Oh them silly unicorns. You've got
your ...
[chorus]
DD7
Noah cried, "Close the door 'cause the rain is
GD
pourin', And we just can't wait for no
A7DD
unicorns." Then the ark started movin' and it
A7
drifted with the tide, And the unicorns looked
DD7
up from the rock and cried, And the water came
GD
up and sort of floated them away, That's why
A7D
you've never seen a unicorn to this very day.
You'll see...
[chorus]
     
DA7D
You're never gonna see no unicorns.
