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