Biografia:
A popular and long-running Canadian-Irish folk group that saw their beginning in the 1960s, The Irish Rovers are particularly well-known for their hit recording of Shel Silverstein's "The Unicorn," although a great many more of their characteristically happy and oft-comical songs remain well-known to this day. In 2010, the band celebrated 45 years as recording artists, with their latest CD, "Gracehill Fair" and filming the DVD/television special "Home in Ireland", shot entirely on-location, throughout the northwest coast of Ireland.

Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
I only transcribed the signature intro notes and one fill pattern.
Was surprised at how many great little fills were in the mix but I
only did one.

F Gm C F
A long time ago when the earth was green… there was more kinds of animals than you'd ever seen
F Bb F Gm C F
They'd run around free while the earth was being born but the loveliest of them all was the un-i-corn
F Gm C F
There was green alligators and long necked geese… Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
F Bb F Gm C F Gm C F
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born… The loveliest of all was the un-i-corn (fill One)
F Gm C F
Now God seen some sinning and it gave him a pain.. And he says stand back I'm going to make it rain
F Bb F Gm C F
He says, Hey, brother Noah I'll tell you what to do, Build me a floating zoo
"and take some of them...."
F Gm C F
Green alligators and long necked geese… Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
F Bb F Gm C F Gm C F
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born… Don’t you forget my un-i-corn
F Gm C F
Old Noah was there to answer the call He finished up making the ark just as the rain started pourin
F Bb F Gm C F
He marched in the animals two by two, And he called out as they went through,
"Hey lord,"
F Gm C F
I got your green alligators and long necked geese.. Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
F Bb F Gm C F Gm C F
Some cats and rats and elephants, but Lord, I'm so forlorn, I just can't see no un-i-corn
F Gm C F
Then Noah looked out through the driving rain, Them unicorns were hiding, playing silly games
F Bb F Gm C F
Kicking and splashing while the rain was pourin' Oh, them silly un-i-corns!"
F Gm C F
There were green alligators and long necked geese, Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
F Bb F Gm C F Gm C F
Noah cried, Close the door cause the rain's pourin' And we just can't wait for those un-i-corn
F Gm
The ark started moving it drifted with the tides
C F
Them unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried
F Bb
And the waters came down and sort of floated them away,
“And that's why ya never seen a unicorn to this very day”
(run up) F Gm C F
You'll see green alligators and long necked geese, Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
F Bb F Gm C F C F
Some cats and rats elephants, but sure as you're born, You're never gonna see no u--ni---corn
