Tonalidad: Bb minor
Verse 1
Dm
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
Bb
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
Bb
This old guy was the boss he said "I won't
tell you no lie
But there's more to this journey
A
Am
than is apparent to the eye"
Dm
He said he'd heard God's
message on the radio
It was going to rain forever
and he'd told him to go
Am
Dm
Bb
"I'll protect you all don't worry
I'll be father to you all
I'll save two of every animal,
A
Am
G
no matter how small
Bb
But I'll need some assistants
Am
Asus4
to look after the zoo
Gsus4
Ab
I can't see nobody better so
D
Gsus4
you'll just have to do"
F
Bb
I said, "Just tell me something before it's
Am
too late and we're gone
Gsus4
G
Bb
I mean just how safe is this boat
Dm
we'll be on?"
Verse 3
Dm
"It's Rock steady, Rock steady
Rock steady, Rock steady
Rock steady, Rock steady
Rock steady, Rock steady"
Verse 4
Dm
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
Bb
We had to wash all the animals we had to
feed them too
We were merely human slaves
A
in a big floating zoo
G
Dm
She said,
"Hey baby I don't mean to be flip
But it seems this old man
is on some power trip"
Bb
I said, "No,
no sugar you must be wrong
I mean look at the size of this
Asus4
Am
Dm
boat we're on.
Bb
We're as safe as houses,
Asus4
as safe as mother's milk
Gsus4
Ab
He's as cool as November
Bb
Gsus4
Bb
and as smooth as Chin a silk
F
Bb
He's God's best friend,
Asus4
G
he's got a seat on the board
Gm
Bb
And life may be tough but we're
Dm
sailing with the lord."
Verse 5
Dm
G
Dm
G
Rock steady, Rock steady
Dm
G
Dm
Rock steady, Rock steady
Rock steady, Rock steady
Rock steady, Rock steady
Verse 6
Dm
Woke up this morning
and something had changed
Like a room in my house
had just been rearranged
Bb
She said, "It's stopped raining and
I know the guy's kind
But if we stay here much longer
A
Am
I'm gonna lose my mind."
Dm
So we said we had a mission
for his favorite dove
To see if there was any mercy
Dsus4
from this great God above
Dm
Bb
So to find dry land,
away the white bird flew
We didn't need no country
Am
just a rock would do
Bb
When the dove came back
Asus4
to us he threw down a twig
Am
Gsus4
Ab
It was manna from heaven and
Bb
Gsus4
F
meant we could blow this gig
Bb
"But the rock's too small,
Asus4
" he said, "can't you see?"
Am
Bb
I said, "It's just perfect for her,
Bb
it's perfect for me."
Dm
Rock steady,
Verse 7
Rock steady
Rock steady, Rock steady
Dm
Rock steady, Rock steady
Dm
Rock steady, Rock steady
Dm
Rock steady,
Dm
Dm
Dm
Dm
Rock steady
Rock steady, Rock steady
