Man Gave Names to All the Animals
Bob Dylan 


{c:Chorus:}
{soc}
[Em]Man gave names to all the animals 
In the be[B]ginning, in the be[Em]ginning.
[Em]Man gave names to all the animals 
In the be[B]ginning, long time a[Em]go.
{eoc}


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


{c:Chorus:}
{soc}
[Em]Man gave names to all the animals 
In the be[B]ginning, in the be[Em]ginning.
[Em]Man gave names to all the animals 
In the be[B]ginning, long time a[Em]go.
{eoc}


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


{c:Chorus:}
{soc}
[Em]Man gave names to all the animals 
In the be[B]ginning, in the be[Em]ginning.
[Em]Man gave names to all the animals 
In the be[B]ginning, long time a[Em]go.
{eoc}


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


{c:Chorus:}
{soc}
[Em]Man gave names to all the animals 
In the be[B]ginning, in the be[Em]ginning.
[Em]Man gave names to all the animals 
In the be[B]ginning, long time a[Em]go.
{eoc}


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


{c:Chorus:}
{soc}
[Em]Man gave names to all the animals 
In the be[B]ginning, in the be[Em]ginning.
[Em]Man gave names to all the animals 
In the be[B]ginning, long time a[Em]go.
{eoc}


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


{c:Chorus:}
{soc}
[Em]Man gave names to all the animals 
In the be[B]ginning, in the be[Em]ginning.
[Em]Man gave names to all the animals 
In the be[B]ginning, long time a[Em]go.
{eoc}


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