Intro G Am

An G effervescing elephant
with G7 tiny eyes and great big trunk
once C whispered to the tiny ear,
the C7 ear of one in fear, you hear
that G by next June he’d die, oh yeah
Because the tiger would D roam
The little one said oh my D7 goodness
I must stay at home

And G every time I hear a growl
I’ll G7 know the tiger’s on the prowl
And C I’ll be really safe, you know
the C7 elephant, he told me so
G Everyone was nervous, oh yeah
And the message was D spread to zebra,
mongoose and the D7 dirty hippopotamus

Who G wallowed in the mud
and chewed his G7 spicy hippo-plankton food
and C tended to ignore the word,
re-C7 ferring to a survey I heard of G stupid water bison
Oh yeah, and all the jungle took D fright,
and ran around for all the D7 day and the night

But all in G vain because, you see, the tiger came and said
Who G7 me? You know I C wouldn’t hurt not one of you
I C much prefer something to chew
and G you’re all too scant
Oh C yeah, he ate the D ele-G phant
