(Original Key: B)


Intro:

G  D, G  D

G   D
 Oh yeah,
G     D
 Yeah yeah.

Verse 1:

    G
Now God said to Noah:
"I don't want no sinnin'",
 G  D,    G    D
(Oh yeah, yeah yeah).
           G
"I've been telling you this,
Since 'In the beginnin'",
 G  D,    G    D
(Oh yeah, yeah yeah).
           G
"You gotta round up your sons,
And all of their women",
 G  D,    G    D
(Oh yeah, yeah yeah).

                E7
"Because you're going,
              A
On a big boat ride.
    D
Now gather all the animals,
G
 By the pair,
E7
 Build a big ship about,
  A
A million square,
    F#7
And put all the animals,
Bm     A  G
 Right in there,
           A          D
And sail a-way on the tide".

Bridge 1:

    C       G
But what if Noah,
    E7         A
Had just said "No sir"?
          G        D
Well we'd all have fins,
    G     D
And scaly skins,
     G               D
We'd breathe through gills,
   G            D
In-stead of nos-trils,
         E7
And we'd eat fish food,
           A
Instead of vitamin pills.

Chorus 1:

     G              A
It's scary but it's true,
   G           D
So do what the good book,
G            D
 Do what the good book,
G            A
 Do what the good book,
D
 Tells you to.

 G  D,    G    D
(Oh yeah, yeah yeah).

Verse 2:

 A  E     A    E
(Oh yeah, yeah yeah).

    A
Now God said to David:
"Do you hear that drummin'?"
 A  E     A    E
(Oh yeah, yeah yeah).
           A
"You gotta great,
Big Philistine army comin'".
 A  E     A    E
(Oh yeah, yeah yeah).
           A
"You wanna oil up your sling,
And really get it hummin'",
 A  E     A    E
(Oh yeah, yeah yeah).
             F#7
"Because you gotta take,
            B
The big guy down".

     E
Well David got,
          A
A dose of frights,
       F#7
But he wanted to be,
            B
King of the Isrealites,
      Ab7
So he put old Goliath,
C#m       B   A
 Right in his sights,
And he bounced one,
B           E
 Off of his crown.

Bridge 2:

    D       A
But what if David,
    F#7        B
Had whined and wavered?
     A         E
We'd live like slaves,
   A          E
To Philistine knaves,
    A            E
Our bosses would all,
   A       E
Be 30 feet tall,
     A          E
We'd wash their clothes,
       A    E
With a fire hose,
         F#7
And we'd sleep in the cracks,
   B
Be-tween their toes.

Chorus 2:

     A              B
It's scary but it's true,
    Ab7      C#
And if I was you,
    B           F#
I'd do what the good book,
B            F#
 Do what the good book,
B            C#
 Do what the good book,
F#
 Tells me to.

 B  F#    B    F#
(Oh yeah, yeah yeah).

Coda:

B            C#
 Do what the good book,
            F#
Te...lls me to.
