I Was Born About 4000 Years Ago chords

[G]I was born ten [C]thousand years [G]ago
And there's nothing in this world that I don't [D]know

And I'll [G]lick the man that [D]says it isn't[G] so

[G]I saw Satan when he s[C]earched the garden o[G]'er
I saw Eve and Adam driven from the doo[D]r

And I swe[G]ar that I'm the gu[D]y that ate th[G]e core

[G]I saw Jonah when [C]he was in the [G]whale

So he cou[G]ghed him up and le[D]t him out of [G]jail

[G]I saw Israel in the [C]battle of the[G] Nile
The arrows were flying thick and fast and [D]wild

[G]I was born ten [C]thousand years [G]ago
And there's nothing in this world that I don't [D]know

And I'll [G]lick the man that [D]says it isn't[G] so

[G]I saw Sampson w[C]hen he laid the village [G]cold

And there[G]'s many other thin[D]gs I haven't [G]told

[G]I taught Solomon his [C]little A-B-[G]C's
I helped Brigham Young to make Limburger [D]cheese
And while s[G]ailing down the bay with Met[C]huselah one day
I s[G]aved his flowing w[D]hiskers from the [G]breeze

[G]Queen Elizabeth, fell [C]dead in love with [G]me

But I [G]schemed around and shook her, then she [C]went with General Hooker
To [G]shoot mosquitoes d[D]own in Tennes[G]see

[G]I remember when[C] the country ha[G]d a king
I saw Cleopatra pawn her wedding ri[D]ng
And I [G]saw th flags a'flyin' when Georg[C]e Washington stopped lyin'
On the n[G]ight when Patty fi[D]rst begin to [G]sing

[G]So, you see I a[C]m an educated m[G]an
To keep my brains in my head I plan[D]
Cause [G]I been on earth so long, that I [C]use to sing a song
While Ab[G]raham and Issac pl[D]ayed the band[G]

[G]I was born ten [C]thousand years [G]ago
And there's nothing in this world that I don't[D] know

And I ca[G]n lick the guy tha[D]t says it is'[G]nt so
