Tonalidad: Bb minor
Verse 1
Gm
Saw an ad in the newspaper
that caught my eye
I said to my baby this sounds
like the ticket for you and I
It said volunteers wanted for
a very special trip
To commune with Mother Nature
on a big wooden ship
Eb
We took a taxi to the river in case
any places were free
There was an old guy with a beard
And every kind of creature as far
as the eye could see
Verse 2
Eb
This old guy was the boss he said "I won't
tell you no lie
But there's more to this journey
D
Dm
than is apparent to the eye"
Gm
He said he'd heard God's
message on the radio
It was going to rain forever
and he'd told him to go
Dm
Gm
Eb
"I'll protect you all don't worry
I'll be father to you all
I'll save two of every animal,
D
Dm
C
no matter how small
Eb
But I'll need some assistants
Dm
Dsus4
to look after the zoo
Csus4
C#
I can't see nobody better so
G
Csus4
you'll just have to do"
Bb
Eb
I said, "Just tell me something before it's
Dm
too late and we're gone
Csus4
C
Eb
I mean just how safe is this boat
Gm
we'll be on?"
Verse 3
Gm
"It's Rock steady, Rock steady
Rock steady, Rock steady
Rock steady, Rock steady
Rock steady, Rock steady"
Verse 4
Gm
It rained for forty days and forty
long nights
I'd never seen rain like it and
it looked like our old friend
Was being proved right
We had no time to worry though
there was just too much to do
Between the signified monkey
and the kangaroo
Eb
We had to wash all the animals we had to
feed them too
We were merely human slaves
D
in a big floating zoo
C
Gm
She said,
"Hey baby I don't mean to be flip
But it seems this old man
is on some power trip"
Eb
I said, "No,
no sugar you must be wrong
I mean look at the size of this
Dsus4
Dm
Gm
boat we're on.
Eb
We're as safe as houses,
Dsus4
as safe as mother's milk
Csus4
C#
He's as cool as November
Eb
Csus4
Eb
and as smooth as Chin a silk
Bb
Eb
He's God's best friend,
Dsus4
C
he's got a seat on the board
Cm
Eb
And life may be tough but we're
Gm
sailing with the lord."
Verse 5
Gm
C
Gm
C
Rock steady, Rock steady
Gm
C
Gm
Rock steady, Rock steady
Rock steady, Rock steady
Rock steady, Rock steady
Verse 6
Gm
Woke up this morning
and something had changed
Like a room in my house
had just been rearranged
Eb
She said, "It's stopped raining and
I know the guy's kind
But if we stay here much longer
D
Dm
I'm gonna lose my mind."
Gm
So we said we had a mission
for his favorite dove
To see if there was any mercy
Gsus4
from this great God above
Gm
Eb
So to find dry land,
away the white bird flew
We didn't need no country
Dm
just a rock would do
Eb
When the dove came back
Dsus4
to us he threw down a twig
Dm
Csus4
C#
It was manna from heaven and
Eb
Csus4
Bb
meant we could blow this gig
Eb
"But the rock's too small,
Dsus4
" he said, "can't you see?"
Dm
Eb
I said, "It's just perfect for her,
Eb
it's perfect for me."
Gm
Rock steady,
Verse 7
Rock steady
Rock steady, Rock steady
Gm
Rock steady, Rock steady
Gm
Rock steady, Rock steady
Gm
Rock steady,
Gm
Gm
Gm
Gm
Rock steady
Rock steady, Rock steady
