    Man gave names to all the animals
              B      B          Em     Em
    In the beginning, in the beginning.
     Em       Em              Em       Em

    In the beginning, long time ago.

 Em                              B
He saw an animal that liked to growl,
 B                              Em
Big furry paws and he liked to howl,
  Em                            A
Great big furry back and furry hair.
 B                         Em
"Ah, think I'll call it a bear."

 Em                       B
He saw an animal up on a hill
  B                                     Em
Chewing up so much grass until she was filled.
 Em                                        A
He saw milk comin' out but he didn't know how.
 B                         Em
"Ah, think I'll call it a cow."

Chorus:
     Em       Em              Em       Em
    Man gave names to all the animals
              B      B          Em     Em
    In the beginning, in the beginning.
     Em       Em              Em       Em
    Man gave names to all the animals
              B      B          Em     Em
    In the beginning, long time ago.

 Em                              B
He saw an animal that liked to snort,
B                                        Em
Horns on his head and they weren't too short.
    Em
It looked like there wasn't nothin'
                  A
That he couldn't pull.
 B                         Em
"Ah, think I'll call it a bull."

Chorus:
     Em       Em              Em       Em
    Man gave names to all the animals
              B      B          Em     Em
    In the beginning, in the beginning.
     Em       Em              Em       Em
    Man gave names to all the animals
              B      B          Em     Em
    In the beginning, long time ago.

 Em                                B
He saw an animal leavin' a muddy trail,
 B                           Em
Real dirty face and a curly tail.
Em                                     A
He wasn't too small and he wasn't too big.
 B                         Em
"Ah, think I'll call it a pig."

Chorus:
     Em       Em              Em       Em
    Man gave names to all the animals
              B      B          Em     Em
    In the beginning, in the beginning.
     Em       Em              Em       Em
    Man gave names to all the animals
              B      B          Em     Em
    In the beginning, long time ago.

Em                        B
 Next animal that he did meet
   B                                    Em
Had wool on his back and hooves on his feet,
Em                                  A
Eating grass on a mountainside so steep.
 B                          Em
"Ah, think I'll call it a sheep."

Chorus:
     Em       Em              Em       Em
    Man gave names to all the animals
              B      B          Em     Em
    In the beginning, in the beginning.
     Em       Em              Em       Em
    Man gave names to all the animals
              B      B          Em     Em
    In the beginning, long time ago.

Em                              B
He saw an animal as smooth as glass
  B                              Em
Slithering his way through the grass.
Em                                  A
Saw him disappear by a tree near a lake.
