The Ark Chords & Lyrics - Eliza Gilkyson

INTRO: [Dm] [Am] [G] [F] [Am]

N.C.
It was [C]just about a year ago
I [F]woke up from a [C]dream [G]
That filled my soul with [C]wonder

Where the heavens rained down water
And it [F]filled the lakes and [C]streams [G]
And the world was shook by [C]thunder

And the [Dm]waters came to[Am]gether
'Til they [G]formed a mighty [C]sea [F]
And all the land went [Am]under [F] [Am]

So I [C]started making plans
And my [F]sons all felled the [C]trees [G]
And the wood they set to [C]planing

While the women built the stockpile
Of pro[F]vision grain and [C]seeds [G]
And relationships were [C]straining

All the [Dm]townfolk think we're [Am]crazy
When we [G]pass them on the [C]street
They [F]look down at their [Am]feet

[BRIDGE]
It's three [Dm]hundred cubits [Am]long
Like the [G]belly of a [F]bird
[Dm]Three decks high and [Am]strong enough
To [F]ride upon [G]the surge

INSTRUMENTAL: [C] [F] [C] [G] [C] [F] [C] [G] [C] [Dm] [Am] [G] [C] [F] [Am] [F] [Am]

So [C]gather up the grandchildren
And [F]all the ones we [C]love [G]
And the animals for [C]breeding

Don't forget the donkeys
And the [F]ravens and the [C]doves
[G]Someday we might [C]need them

There is [Dm]nothing we can [Am]do now
For the [G]ones who will re[C]main
And the [F]sky that looks like [Am]rain [F] [Am]
And the [F]sky looks like[Am] rain [Dm] [Am] [G] [F] [Am]
