I Was Born About 4000 Years Ago

	  		
G              C              G 
I was born ten thousand years ago 
                                               D 
And there's nothing in this world that I don't know 
      G                               C 
I saw Pater, Paul, and Moses playing ring around the roses 
         G                 D            G 
And I'll lick the man that says it isn't so 

G                    C                   G 
I saw Satan when he searched the garden o'er 
                                      D 
I saw Eve and Adam driven from the door 
      G                               C 
And behind the bushes peepin', saw the apple they were eatin' 
         G                 D            G 
And I swear that I'm the guy that ate the core 

G                C             G 
I saw Jonah when he was in the whale 
                                        D 
And thought he'd never live to tell the tale 
      G                               C 
But old Jonah'd eaten garlic, and he gave the whale the colic 
         G                 D            G 
So he coughed him up and let him out of jail 

G                   C            G 
I saw Israel in the battle of the Nile 
                                          D 
The arrows were flying thick and fast and wild 
      G                        C 
I saw David with his sling pop Goliath on the wing 
      G           D              G 
I was doing forty seconds to the mile 

G              C              G 
I was born ten thousand years ago 
                                               D 
And there's nothing in this world that I don't know 
      G                               C 
I saw old King Pharoah's daughter takin Moses from the water 
         G                 D            G 
And I'll lick the man that says it isn't so 

G              C                       G 
I saw Sampson when he laid the village cold 
                                   D 
Saw Daniel tame the lions in their hold 
          G                             C 
I helped build the Tower of Babel up as high as they were able 
         G                 D            G 
And there's many other things I haven't told 

G                    C          G 
I taught Solomon his little A-B-C's 
                                         D 
I helped Brigham Young to make Limburger cheese 
           G                           C 
And while sailing down the bay with Methuselah one day 
   G                 D                G 
I saved his flowing whiskers from the breeze 

G                     C                 G 
Queen Elizabeth, fell dead in love with me 
                                   D 
We were married in Milwaukee secretly 
      G                                      C 
But I schemed around and shook her, then she went with General Hooker 
   G                 D            G 
To shoot mosquitoes down in Tennessee 

G              C              G 
I remember when the country had a king 
                                   D 
I saw Cleopatra pawn her wedding ring 
      G                               C 
And I saw th flags a'flyin' when George Washington stopped lyin' 
        G                 D            G 
On the night when Patty first begin to sing 

G              C              G 
So, you see I am an educated man 
                                   D 
To keep my brains in my head I plan 
      G                               C 
Cause I been on earth so long, that I use to sing a song 
        G                 D            G 
While Abraham and Issac played the band 

G              C              G 
I was born ten thousand years ago 
                                              D 
And there's nothing in this world that I don't know 
      G                               C 
I saw Peter, Paul and Moses playing ring-around-the-roses 
        G                 D            G 
And I can lick the guy that says it is'nt so
