G                             C                  G
The good Lord went to Noah and he told him about the flood
        G               Em         A7                    D7
He said Noah build me a vessel and make it out of gopher wood
G                                   C             G
Build it big, build it strong so it won't be torn apart
    G                Em                 D7               G
Old Noah built him a masterpiece and he called it Noah's ark


[Chorus]
              G
Now didn't it rain children, didn't it rain, rain, rain
                 A7                D7
  Forty days and nights, didn't it rain?
             G                                    Em
Oh didn't it rain children, didn't it rain, rain, rain
G                D7                G
  Forty days and nights, didn't it rain?


[Verse]
         G                                   C                 G
He had a moose and a goose and a gander, alligator and a big hippo
  G                    Em                  A7                    D7
A monkey and an ape, a couple of snakes, a ram and a sheep and a goat
         G                                         C                      G
He had a possum and a 'coon and a black baboon, an eagle and a red-tailed hawk
  G                 Em                      D7               G
A buck and a doe, a turkey and a crow and a donkey trying to bark


[Verse]
       G                           C                G
He had leopards, lions and tigers, bulls and a buffalo
 G              Em                       A7            D7
Orang-utans and little bitty things, all lined up in a row
         G                                 C                 G
He had a dog and a cat and a gopher rat, a great big grizzly bear
  G                 Em                     D7                   G
A mule and a cow, a boar and a sow, he had two of everything in there


[Chorus]
              G
Now didn't it rain children, didn't it rain, rain, rain
                 A7                D7
  Forty days and nights, didn't it rain?
             G                                    Em
Oh didn't it rain children, didn't it rain, rain, rain
G                D7                G
  Forty days and nights, didn't it rain?


[Verse]
       G       G/F#     Em               C              G
He had apples, peaches, plums and pears, grapes and apricots
G        G/F#      Em                    A7            D7
Bees and beans and turnip greens, he had corn and baby squash
         G                                    C             G
He had a pumpkin and a big watermelon, he had every kind of wheat
    G              Em                            A7         D7      G
And just before he closed that door he grabbed a handful of mustard seed


[Chorus]
              G
Now didn't it rain children, didn't it rain, rain, rain
                 A7                D7
  Forty days and nights, didn't it rain?
             G                                    Em

Oh didn't it rain children, didn't it rain, rain, rain
G                D7                Em
  Forty days and nights, didn't it rain?
           G               D7                G
Lord, Lord, forty days and nights, didn't it rain?
