Johnny Cash - Ballad of the Ark: chords

E
Well I tell you a story about a good man
Who had many a problem before he reached dry land
          A          D              E
It isn't easy for a good man to go down
no it isn't easy for a good man to go down

On the earth there was trouble sorrow and pain
So the Lord said to Noah I'm going to make it rain
It isn't easy for a good man to go down
no it isn't easy for a good man to go down

Noah gathered his sons and the ark it was raised
Two by two came the animals that they might be saved
It isn't easy for a good man to go down
no it isn't easy for a good man to go down

Well it rained forty days and it rained forty nights
All the earth it was covered the mountains out of sight
It isn't easy for a good man to go down
no it isn't easy for a good man to go down

When the waters receded and the earth it was dry
The Lord said to Noah go forth and multiply
It isn't easy for a good man to go down
no it isn't easy for a good man to go down

Yes the Lord made a rainbow way up in the sky
He promised no flood would ever murder you and die
It isn't easy for a good man to go down
no it isn't easy for a good man to go down
