Eliza Gilkyson - The Ark
INTRO: 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
BRIDGE:
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
