Eliza Gilkyson – The Ark (Guitar)

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

       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

      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

   C
So gather up the grandchildren

    F               C     G
And all the ones we love

                    C
And the animals for breeding

        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
