God Looked Around Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]God looked around,
he didn't see nothin'
Said, well, shucks, let there be light
So up come the sun, bright as all get out
Then he split it up into day and night
God looked around,
wasn't much to look at
So He fabricated the heavens and earth
So now their solid ground,
divvied up by waters
He said, well, there it is for what it's worth
He gave wings to birds
so they'd fly in the air
And legs for critters walkin'
on the ground
Allocated fish to the water
and beasts to the fields
And creepin' things to crawl around
God looked around, he didn't see no one
He reached down
and he picked up some dust
Then he spit on it
and he kneaded it like bread dough
And a man rose up full grown as such
God looked at the man,
he saw that he was lonely, said go to sleep
I guess I ain't done.
He pried out one of his ribs
and he slapped some hide around it.
There was two now,
well once there's one.
He gave it some curves
and lips red as cherries
and ravishing curly raven hair.
Well, the man, he woke up,
and he looked at the woman
He said, whoa, Lord,
you don't answer my [A]prayers[Am]
Now things was righteous
when a snake walked up
Said, hey woman, take a bite of this
You'll be smart as God
and you'll live forever
You'd be foolish to resist
The woman said, uh -uh,
don't eat from that tree
Those was God's very own words
Ah, but the snake -sweep talked to her
And she took a bite
And then she realized
she was naked as a jaybird
The woman went to the man
And he took a taste,
I'm undraped, he proclaimed
Then they heard God a -comin',
so they went and hid
Cause they was naked and ashamed
Well God found them,
said you ain't forbidden fruit
The woman cried,
the snake doomed me, I was tempted
God said, I told you not to,
and since you disobeyed
Your time here in paradise is ended
So God cast him out,
dooming us all to die
That's why it's the way it is
Then God said [A]to the [Am]snake,
you done walkin' and talkin'
And that's why to this day
they slither and hiss
Oh, oh, [Am]oh...
[Am]
