Tonalidad: Bb minor
Verse 1
Bm
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
G
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
G
This old guy was the boss he said "I won't
tell you no lie
But there's more to this journey
F#
F#m
than is apparent to the eye"
Bm
He said he'd heard God's
message on the radio
It was going to rain forever
and he'd told him to go
F#m
Bm
G
"I'll protect you all don't worry
I'll be father to you all
I'll save two of every animal,
F#
F#m
E
no matter how small
G
But I'll need some assistants
F#m
F#sus4
to look after the zoo
Esus4
F
I can't see nobody better so
B
Esus4
you'll just have to do"
D
G
I said, "Just tell me something before it's
F#m
too late and we're gone
Esus4
E
G
I mean just how safe is this boat
Bm
we'll be on?"
Verse 3
Bm
"It's Rock steady, Rock steady
Rock steady, Rock steady
Rock steady, Rock steady
Rock steady, Rock steady"
Verse 4
Bm
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
G
We had to wash all the animals we had to
feed them too
We were merely human slaves
F#
in a big floating zoo
E
Bm
She said,
"Hey baby I don't mean to be flip
But it seems this old man
is on some power trip"
no sugar you must be wrong
I mean look at the size of this
F#sus4
F#m
Bm
boat we're on.
G
We're as safe as houses,
F#sus4
as safe as mother's milk
Esus4
F
He's as cool as November
G
Esus4
G
and as smooth as Chin a silk
D
G
He's God's best friend,
F#sus4
E
he's got a seat on the board
Em
G
And life may be tough but we're
Bm
sailing with the lord."
Verse 5
Bm
E
Bm
E
Rock steady, Rock steady
Bm
E
Bm
Rock steady, Rock steady
Rock steady, Rock steady
Rock steady, Rock steady
Verse 6
Bm
Woke up this morning
and something had changed
Like a room in my house
had just been rearranged
G
She said, "It's stopped raining and
I know the guy's kind
But if we stay here much longer
F#
F#m
I'm gonna lose my mind."
Bm
So we said we had a mission
for his favorite dove
To see if there was any mercy
Bsus4
from this great God above
Bm
G
So to find dry land,
away the white bird flew
We didn't need no country
F#m
just a rock would do
G
When the dove came back
F#sus4
to us he threw down a twig
F#m
Esus4
F
It was manna from heaven and
G
Esus4
D
meant we could blow this gig
G
"But the rock's too small,
F#sus4
" he said, "can't you see?"
F#m
G
I said, "It's just perfect for her,
G
it's perfect for me."
Bm
Rock steady,
Verse 7
Rock steady
Rock steady, Rock steady
Bm
Rock steady, Rock steady
Bm
Rock steady, Rock steady
Bm
Rock steady,
Bm
Bm
Bm
Bm
Rock steady
Rock steady, Rock steady
