Elton John, Just Like Noah's Ark (2006)
Key: :[Bb] (w: Bernie Taupin, Elton John)
INTRO: [Bb] [Eb] [Bb] [Ab] [Eb] [Bb]
VERSE 1:
Well
[Bb] it's just like Noah's ark, there's two of every kind
Pretty
[Eb] girls and boys in drag walking a fine thin line
Shaking
[Ab] hands and bussing cheeks licking their
[Eb] lips
Like they could eat me a-
[Bb]-live in a couple of weeks
[Ab] Yeah,
[Eb] just like Noah's
[Bb] ark
VERSE 2:
[Bb] Italian promotion men chomping a big cigar
Slapping
[Eb] backs and making cracks about the fags in the bar
Radio
[Ab] boss dipping his nose in a
[Eb] little white packet
You can
[Bb] put it out son and we'll all back it
[Ab] Yeah,
[Eb] just like Noah's
[Bb] ark
PRE-CHORUS:
And the
[F#] waves are
[Ab] crashing a-
[Bb]-round us
But we're
[Db] ready
[Eb] for the
[Bb] flood
And we don't
[F#] need a
[Ab] sign like an o-
[Bb]-live branch
In the
[Db] beak of a
[Eb] snow white
[Bb] dove
CHORUS:
We're not as
[Cm] dumb as we might
[G] look
You can't
[D/F#] keep us in the
[G] dark
With
[Cm] me and
[G] you it's
[Cm] two by
[Ab] two
[F#] Just like
[Ab] Noah's
[Bb] ark
VERSE 3:
[Bb] These four walls have seen the Cockettes and the Casters
From San Fran-
[Eb]-cisco to Ohio, I've seen beauty and disaster
[Ab] Cocky young roosters and little
[Eb] chicks, flashing smiles
Shaking them
[Bb] hips, trying to hook it up for the late night
[Ab] Shift,
[Eb] here in Noah's
[Bb] ark
REPEAT PRE-CHORUS:
REPEAT CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
And we
[Ab] wrote it
[Eb] as we
[Bb] saw it
From the
[Ab] centre
[Eb] of the
[Bb] stage
All
[Ab] access
[Eb] to the
[Bb] liars
Who
[Ab] claim they
[Eb] wrote a
[Bb] page
But for
[F#] every tiny dancer
There's a
[Ab] dog that's had its
[Bb] day
The
[Cm] truth is never quite the same
As what the papers
[F] say
[F open]
