Tonalidad: Bb minor
Verse 1
Ebm
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
B
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
B
This old guy was the boss he said "I won't
tell you no lie
But there's more to this journey
Bb
Bbm
than is apparent to the eye"
Ebm
He said he'd heard God's
message on the radio
It was going to rain forever
and he'd told him to go
Bbm
Ebm
B
"I'll protect you all don't worry
I'll be father to you all
I'll save two of every animal,
Bb
Bbm
Ab
no matter how small
B
But I'll need some assistants
Bbm
Bbsus4
to look after the zoo
Absus4
A
I can't see nobody better so
Eb
Absus4
you'll just have to do"
Gb
B
I said, "Just tell me something before it's
Bbm
too late and we're gone
Absus4
Ab
B
I mean just how safe is this boat
Ebm
we'll be on?"
Verse 3
Ebm
"It's Rock steady, Rock steady
Rock steady, Rock steady
Rock steady, Rock steady
Rock steady, Rock steady"
Verse 4
Ebm
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
B
We had to wash all the animals we had to
feed them too
We were merely human slaves
Bb
in a big floating zoo
Ab
Ebm
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
Bbsus4
Bbm
Ebm
boat we're on.
B
We're as safe as houses,
Bbsus4
as safe as mother's milk
Absus4
A
He's as cool as November
B
Absus4
B
and as smooth as Chin a silk
Gb
B
He's God's best friend,
Bbsus4
Ab
he's got a seat on the board
Abm
B
And life may be tough but we're
Ebm
sailing with the lord."
Verse 5
Ebm
Ab
Ebm
Ab
Rock steady, Rock steady
Ebm
Ab
Ebm
Rock steady, Rock steady
Rock steady, Rock steady
Rock steady, Rock steady
Verse 6
Ebm
Woke up this morning
and something had changed
Like a room in my house
had just been rearranged
B
She said, "It's stopped raining and
I know the guy's kind
But if we stay here much longer
Bb
Bbm
I'm gonna lose my mind."
Ebm
So we said we had a mission
for his favorite dove
To see if there was any mercy
Ebsus4
from this great God above
Ebm
B
So to find dry land,
away the white bird flew
We didn't need no country
Bbm
just a rock would do
B
When the dove came back
Bbsus4
to us he threw down a twig
Bbm
Absus4
A
It was manna from heaven and
B
Absus4
Gb
meant we could blow this gig
B
"But the rock's too small,
Bbsus4
" he said, "can't you see?"
Bbm
B
I said, "It's just perfect for her,
B
it's perfect for me."
Ebm
Rock steady,
Verse 7
Rock steady
Rock steady, Rock steady
Ebm
Rock steady, Rock steady
Ebm
Rock steady, Rock steady
Ebm
Rock steady,
Ebm
Ebm
Ebm
Ebm
Rock steady
Rock steady, Rock steady
