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 | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  D  E  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
