The Unicorn Intro: after pick-up D D A D D A A7 A long time ago, when the earth was green, D There were more kinds of animals than you've ever seen; Em They'd run around free while the world was being born, D A D The loveliest of all was the Unicorn. A A7 There was green alligators and long-necked geese, D Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees, Em Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born, D A D The loveliest of all was the Unicorn.

The Unicorn 2 D

A

Now God seen some sinnin' and it caused Him pain. D

And He said, "Stand back, I'm going to make it rain.” Em

"Hey, brother Noah, I'll tell you what to do. D

A

D

Your gunna build me a floating zoo." And take some of them green alligators and long-necked geese, Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees, Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born, Don't you forget my Unicorn." Old Noah was there to answer the call, He finished up making the Ark just as the rain started fallin', He marched in the animals two by two And he called out as they went through, Hey, Lord, I’ve got some Green Aligators and long-necked geese, Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees, Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as your born I just can’t see no unicorn

The Unicorn 3 D

A

Old Noah looked out into the driving rain, D

Them Unicorns was hiding, playing silly games, Em

Kicking and splashing while the rain was pouring, D

A

D

Oh, them silly Unicorns. There was green alligators and long-necked geese, Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees, Noah cried, "Close the doors 'cause the rain is pourin', And we just can't wait for no Unicorns." The Ark started floatin', it drifted with the tide, Them Unicorns looked up from the rock and they cried, And the waters came down and sorta floated them away, That's why you'll never see a Unicorn, to this very day. You’ll see green alligators and long-necked geese, Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees, Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born, You’re never going to see no Unicorn.

In the Early Morning Rain [Chorus] C Em Dm G7 C In the early mornin' rain, with a dollar in my hand, Dm G7 C And an achin' in my heart, and my pocket's full of sand. C Dm G7 C I'm a long way from home, and I miss my loved one so, Em Dm G7 C In the early mornin' rain, with no place to go. C Em Dm G7 C Out on runway number nine, big 707 set to go. Dm G7 C But I'm out here on the grass, where the pavement never grows. Dm G7 C Well the liquor tasted good, and the women all were fast. C Em Dm G7 C There she goes my friend, she's rollin' down at last.

C Em Dm G7 C Hear the mighty engines roar, see the silver wing on high. C Dm G7 C She's away and westward bound, far above the clouds she flies. C Dm G7 C Where the mornin' rain don't fall, and the sun always shines. C Em Dm G7 C She'll be flyin' o'er my home, in about three hours time. C Em Dm G7 C This old airport's got me down, it's no earthly good to me. C Dm G7 C Cause I'm stuck here on the ground, cold and drunk as I might be. C Dm G7 C Can't jump a jet plane, like I can a freight train. C Em Dm G7 C So I'd best be on my way, in the early mornin' rain. C Dm G7 C So I'd best be on my way, in the early mornin' rain. Menu
