the Unicorn (the Irish Rovers) ukulele rendition

Описание: One of my favorite songs from 1968, a song written by Shel Silverstein, who also wrote books such as "Where the Sidewalk Ends" and "The Giving Tree." The song was made famous by the Irish Rovers, and I couldn't help trying a bit of Irish accent, although I'd be the first to admit I'm not good at it.
intro: [ C G7 – C ]
A [C] long time ago when the [G7] earth was green
There was more kinds of animals than [C] you’d ever seen
They’d run around [C7] free, while the [F] earth was being born
but the [C] loveliest of them all was the [G7] uni[C]corn

There was [C] green alligators and [G7] long-neck geese
Some humpty-back camels and some [C] chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants but [F] sure as you’re born
The [C] loveliest of all was the [G7] uni[C]corn [ C G7 – C ]

Now [C] God seen some sinning, and it [G7] gave Him pain
And He said, “Stand back! I’m gonna [C] make it rain!”
He said, “Hey Brother [C7] Noah, I [F] tell you what to do—
[C] Build me a [G7] floating [C] zoo, and take some of them

[C] Green alligators and [G7] long-neck geese
Some humpty-back camels and some [C] chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants but [F] sure as you’re born
[C] Don’t you forget my [G7] uni[C]corn!” [ C G7 – C ]

Old [C] Noah was there to [G7] answer the call
He finished up making the ark just as the [C] rain started falling
He marched in the [C7] animals [F] two by two
and he [C] called out as [G7] they went [C] through, “Hey Lord!

I got your [C] green alligators and [G7] long-neck geese
Some humpty-back camels and some [C] chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants but [F] Lord, I’m so forlorn
I [C] just can’t see no [G7] uni[C]corn [ C G7 – C ]

Then [C] Noah looked out through the [G7] driving rain
Them unicorns were hiding, [C] playing silly games
Kicking and [C7] splashing, while the [F] rain was pouring
[C] All them silly [G7] uni[C] corns

There was [C] green alligators and [G7] long-necked geese
Some humpty back camels & some [C] chimpanzees
Noah cried, “Close the [C7] door, ‘cause the [F] rain is pouring
And [C] we just can’t wait for [G7] those uni[C]corns [ C G7 - C ]

The [C] ark started moving, it [G7] drifted with the tide
Them unicorns looked up from the [C] rocks and they cried
And the waters came [C7] down and sort of [F-] floated them away
(spoken) And that’s why you never seen a unicorn to this very day

You’ll see [C] green alligators and [G7] long-neck geese
Some humpty-back camels and some [C] chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but [F] sure as you’re born
you’re [C] never gonna see no [G7] u-- ni-- [C] corn [G7 – C]
