The Ark

Dm Am G F Am N.C. C It was just about a year ago F C G I woke up from a dream C That filled my soul with wonder Where the heavens rained down water F C G And it filled the lakes and streams C And the world was shook by thunder Dm Am And the waters came together G C F 'Til they formed a mighty sea Am F Am And all the land went under C So I started making plans F C G And my sons all felled the trees C And the wood they set to planing While the women built the stockpile F C G Of provision grain and seeds C And relationships were straining Dm Am All the townfolk think we're crazy G C When we pass them on the street F Am They look down at their feet Dm Am It's three hundred cubits long G F Like the belly of a bird Dm Am Three decks high and strong enough F G To ride upon the surge INSTRUMENTAL: C F C G C F C G C Dm Am G C F Am F Am C So gather up the grandchildren F C G And all the ones we love C And the animals for breeding Don't forget the donkeys F C And the ravens and the doves G C Someday we might need them Dm Am There is nothing we can do now G C For the ones who will remain F Am F Am And the sky that looks like rain F Am Dm Am G F Am And the sky looks like rain
