RICH HARDESTY - "The Unicorn Sing" Tablature
Official RICH HARDESTY Tablature & Sheet Music »
PROPS GO TO: Anon
C Dm
A long time ago when the earth was green
G C
There was more kinds of animals than you'd ever seen
C Dm
They'd run around free while the world was being born
C Dm G C
But the loveliest of them all was the u--ni--corn
Chorus:
C Dm
There was green alligators and long necked geese
G C
Some humpy back camels and some chimpanzees
C Dm
Cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
C Dm G C
The loveliest of all was the u--ni--corn
But the Lord seen some sinnin' and it caused him pain
He said "Stand back - I'm gonna make it rain
So hey brother Noah, I'll tell you what to do,
Build me a floating zoo."
Chorus:
And you take two alligators and a couple of geese
Two hump back camels and two chimpanzees
Two cats, two rats, two elephants but sure as you're born
Noah, don't you forget my u--ni--corn.
Now Noah was there and he answered the callin'
And he finished up the ark as the rain started fallin'
And he marched in the animals two by two
And he sung out as they went through
Chorus:
"Hey Lord, I got you two alligators and a couple of geese
Two hump back camels and two chimpanzees
Two cats, two rats, two elephants but sure as you're born
Lord, I just don't see your u--ni--corns."
Well, Noah looked out through the driving rain,
But the unicorns were hiding - playing silly games,
They were kickin' and a-spashin' while the rain was pourin'
Oh them foolish unicorns.
[Repeat second chorus]
And then the ark started moving and it drifted with the tide,
And the unicorns looked up from the rock and cried,
And the water came up and sort of floated them away,
That's why you've never seen a unicorn to this day.
Chorus:
"You'll see a lot of alligators and a whole mess of geese
You'll see hump back camels and chimpanzees
You'll see cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
You're never gonna see no u--ni
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official RICH HARDESTY tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
