Intro 
Bb    F7 Bb   F7 Bb   F7 



          Bb 
I want to build a jumbo ark 
            Gm 
A stretch 747 
             Bb 
And with the grace of God 
       F7              Bb 
I will win my place in heaven 


Verse 1:
Bb 
Mr. Boeing can you hear me now? 
                Eb 
Way up there in Seattle 
                             Bb 
You better sit your big self down 
            F7 
‘Cause I’m about to make your phone line rattle 
    Bb 
Get busy with your peppy team 
                        Eb 
And your compass and protractor 
                           Bb 
‘Cause I’m sent here to contract ya 
       F7                Bb 
To construct this winged thing 


          Bb 
I want to build a jumbo ark 
            Gm 
A stretch 747 
             Bb 
And with the grace of God 
       F7              Bb 
I will win my place in heaven 


Verse 2:
Bb 
We’re talking ‘bout an aquaplane 
                            Eb 
With its floats made out of liners 
                    Bb 
And a hold like Carolina 
        F7 
For the load it must contain 
      Bb 
Don’t tell me that it can’t be done 
                           Eb 
‘Cause we’re living in the eighties 
                   Bb 
Boy we will not me mateys 
          F7             Bb 
Unless we do this winged thing 

 
          Bb 
I want to build a jumbo ark 
            Gm 
A stretch 747 
             Bb 
And with the grace of God 
       F7              Bb 
I will win my place in heaven 



Piano Solo

Verse 3:
Bb 
Information I have received 
                      Eb 
From let’s say higher sources 
                   Bb 
That leads me to believe 
           F7 
That heavy weather is around the bend 
    Bb 
The clouds are gonna bump and grind 
                      Eb 
And down will rain destruction 
                            Bb 
But with the aid of our construction 
         F7               Bb 
We’ll survive and thrive again 



          Bb 
I want to build a jumbo ark 
            Gm 
A stretch 747 
             Bb 
And with the grace of God 
       F7              Bb 
I will win my place in heaven 


Bridge: 
          C7 
I want to take the ape and the kangaroo 
C7 
From out the wild and out of the zoo 
C7 
I’m gonna have to take extra cattle and swine 
C7 
‘Cause the beasts on each other do love to dine 
C7 
Every fish, fowl, thing that howl 
                         Eb 
Will all be kicking up a hell of a row 


       Bb 
When I build a jumbo ark 
            Gm7 
A stretch 747 
             Bb 
And with the grace of God 
       F7 
I will win my place 
          Bb 
I want to build a jumbo ark 
            Gm7 
A stretch 747 
             Bb 
And with the grace of God 
       F7              Bb 
I will win my place in heaven 
             Bb 
And with the grace of God 
       F7              Bb 
I will win my place in heaven 
Bb 
And with the grace of God 
       F7              Bb7 
I will win my place in heaven
