Hi, Great chords, just found 1 chord to be slightly off. The 2nd verse before the chorus, when he says “All that matters is they came around…..” the “Ab” should be an “F” and just after, the “Ab” at “And brightened up our lives” should remain a “Bb” until the “Eb” at the end.
I could be wrong though, maybe play it this way and see if it makes more sense to you.
Thanks!
we only have 3 songs left anyone out there come up with the tabs yet..i see the noah’s ark as mostly Bb Eb Ab in varying form…can anyone help get the rest of the songs….thx bob
Thanks Alex, for the “F” chord change in “Blues Never Fade Away!! You got it right! I’m working on “And The House Fell Down:, which is basically Cm-Ab-Bb-G-Cm for vereses, it’s the chorus and bridge that are doggin me! I’ll keep working on it! thanks, Richard
Here’s most of what the song “And the House Fell Down” consists of . . . If someone puts down the lyrics I suppose I could fill in the chords over the words.
And the House Fell Down
Intro
Cm - Fm7 - Bdim - Cm (2x)
(Use C blues scale on the run)
Verse
Cm - Fm7 - Bb - Bdim - Cm
Cm - Fm7 - Bb - Bdim - Cm
Fm7 - Bb
Fm7 - Bb
(alternates between those two chords until here . . .)
People keep asking for Just Like Noah’s Ark so I thought I would take a crack at it. I can see why there are no chords yet because they seem pretty hard to pick out.
Here is my effort, and Steve I will send you the text file. Feel free to correct anything that needs it.
Just Like Noah’s Ark
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Available on the album The Captain And The Kid
Intro: Based on Bb blues scale(Octaves up high)
Bb-Bb-Bb-Bb-Bb Ab-G-F-D-Db-C-Bb Bb-G-F-G-Bb

. . . Ab Db Bb
Bb
It’s just like Noah’s ark
There’s two of every kind
Eb7
Pretty girls and boys in drag
Walking a fine thin line
Db
Shaking hands and bussing cheeks
Gb
Licking their lips like they could eat
Bb
Me alive in a couple of weeks
Ab Eb7 Bb
Yeah, just like Noah’s ark
Bb
Italian promotion men
Chomping a big cigar
Eb7
Slapping backs and making cracks
About the fags in the bar
Db Gb
Radio boss dipping his nose in a little white packet
Bb
You can put it out son and we’ll all back it
Ab Eb7 Bb
Yeah just like Noah’s ark
chorus:
Ab Bb
And the waves are crashing around us
Eb7 Ab Bb
But we’re ready for the flood
Ab Bb
And we don’t need a sign like an olive branch
Eb7 Ab Bb
In the beak of a snow white dove
C G
We’re not as dumb as we might look
D G
You can’t keep us in the dark
Cm Bb Ab
With me and you it’s two by two
Gb Ab Bb
Just like Noah’s ark

Yes… i agree with Robert, we really need the song ‘Just Like Noah’s Ark’, ‘…And The House Fell Down’, and ‘I Must Have Lost It On The Wind’.
Come on all you chord transcribers… lets get these 3 songs on here!!!!!
