Eliza Gilkyson - The Ark INTRO: Dm Am G F Am

N.C.

It was ^Cjust about a year ago I ^Fwoke up from a ^Cdream ^G That filled my soul with ^Cwonder

Where the heavens rained down water

And it ^Ffilled the lakes and ^Cstreams ^G And the world was shook by ^Cthunder

And the ^Dmwaters came to^Amgether 'Til they ^Gformed a mighty ^Csea ^F And all the land went ^Amunder ^F ^Am

So I ^Cstarted making plans And my ^Fsons all felled the ^Ctrees ^G And the wood they set to ^Cplaning

While the women built the stockpile

Of pro^Fvision grain and ^Cseeds ^G And relationships were ^Cstraining

All the ^Dmtownfolk think we're ^Amcrazy When we ^Gpass them on the ^Cstreet They ^Flook down at their ^Amfeet

BRIDGE:

It's three ^Dmhundred cubits ^Amlong Like the ^Gbelly of a ^Fbird ^DmThree decks high and ^Amstrong enough To ^Fride upon ^Gthe surge

INSTRUMENTAL: C F C G C F C G C Dm Am G C F Am F Am

So ^Cgather up the grandchildren And ^Fall the ones we ^Clove ^G And the animals for ^Cbreeding

Don't forget the donkeys

And the ^Fravens and the ^Cdoves ^GSomeday we might ^Cneed them

There is ^Dmnothing we can ^Amdo now For the ^Gones who will re^Cmain And the ^Fsky that looks like ^Amrain ^F ^Am And the ^Fsky looks like^Am rain ^Dm ^Am ^G ^F ^Am
