[Intro 1]
[Am][E][Am]
[E][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Man gave
names to all the animals*
In the [E]beginning, in the begin[Am]ning
Man gave names to all the animals
In the [E]beginning, long time ago.
[Am]

[Verse 2]
He saw an animal that liked to [E]growl
Big furry paws and he liked to [Am]howl
Great big furry back and
furry [Dm]hair[E]
"Ah, think I'll call it a bear".
[Am]

[Verse 3]
Man gave names to all
the animals
In the begin[E]ning, in the beginning
[Am]Man gave names to all the animals
In the [E]beginning, long [Am]time ago.

[Verse 4]
He saw an animal up [Am]on a h[E]ill
Chewing up so much grass
until she was [Am]filled
He saw milk coming out but he didn't
know [Dm]how[E]

[Verse 5]
"Ah, think I'll call it a cow".
[Am]Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, in the beginning
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, [E]long time ago.

[Verse 6]
He saw an animal that liked to snort
Horns on his head and
they weren't too short
It [Am]looked like there wasn't nothing
that he couldn't pull
"Ah, I'll think I'll call it a bull".

[Verse 7]
Man gave [Am]names to all the animals
In the beginning, in the beginning
Man gave names to all the animals
In [E]the beginning, long time [Am]ago.
He saw an animal leaving
a muddy [Dm]trail[E]
Real dirty face and [Am]a curly trail
He wasn't too small and
he wasn't too [Dm]big[E]
"Ah, think I'll call it a pig".
[Am]

[Verse 8]
[Am]Man gave names to all the animals
In the [E]beginning, in [Am]the beginning
Man gave names to all the animals
In the [E]beginning, long time [Am]ago.

[Verse 9]
[Am]
Next animal that he [E]did meet
Had wool [Am]on his back and
hooves on his feet
Eating [Dm]grass [E]on a mountainside
so steep
"Ah, think I'll call it a sheep".
[Am]

[Verse 10]
Man gave names to all the animals
In the be[E]ginning, in the beginning
[Am]Man gave names to all the [E]animal[Am]s
In the begin[E]ning, long time ago.

[Verse 11]
He saw [Am]an animal as smooth
as [E]glass
Slithering his way through
[Am]the grass
Saw him dissappear by
a tree [Am]near a lake ...
[Dm]
