Of course the story of Jesus being gored by The Unicorn has been told so many times. We just wanted to do our bit to add to the great quilt of memory.
lyrics
THE UNICORN
(capo 2nd fret)
D F G
When the world was a younger place
D F G
Before the age Of the lighted sign
D F C G
A man walked And he lost his shoes
Cmaj7 A
He knew me
G
He knew you
D F G
There was a young, upstart Unicorn
D F C G
Saw the man, was the special one
D F G
He bought tickets for the speeches
Bridge 2 x
Em
oooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
A
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh
D F G
When the Unicorn killed Jesus Christ
D F C - B
They bore his body to the stone
Am Em G/d
the unicorn just ran and ran and ran
C A G
sad, jealous unicorn
D F G (interlude 2x)
D F G
he had memorized all the speeches
D F C - G
knew them down to the marrow
C A G
sad, sad, jealous unicorn
C A
they say good, sweet whiskey
G
put him down
