Chords with lyrics
Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)
D G
There once was a troll held in highest esteem
D G
For his manner was kind and his fungus did gleam
Bm D
The ballad of old Flemmingrad
Bm A Bm A
Beloved by each troll girl and ev'ry troll lad
D G
They gifted him berries and moss cake and stew
D G
He gobbled with zeal as he zealously grew
Bm D
To such a large old Flemmingrad
G A Bm
He always felt full and for that, he was glad
G D
They loved to watch him roll, roll, roll
G D A
With laughter, he would roll, roll
D G
Then one winter's day, humans crept up so fast
D G
The trolls had to roll through a tight mountain pass
Bm D
But dear old giant Flemmingrad
G Bm A
He tried to go through, but got stuck just a tad
D G
The people were frightened and pulled out a sword
D G
So, Flemmy, he blended right into the fjord
Bm D
The ballad of old Flemmingrad
G A Bm A
He never got out, and for that we are sad
Wedged...but not forgotten
G D
For Flemmy couldn't roll, roll, roll
G D A
Oh, Flemmy, won't you roll, roll
Bm F#m
And that's why we have this tradition
Bm Em
Every December we all gather 'round
D G
To pay our respects to a troll so renowned
Bm D
In remembrance of the friend we had
G A Bm A
A jolly old soul we called Flemmingrad
D G
We all dig deep down and we uproot the past
D G
We shove up its nostrils a fist full of grass
Bm D
In resemblance of the dear old lad
G Gm
We forged a mold of Flemmingrad
Em F#m Gm D
We shape his likeness, bless his soul
G A D Em E D
Oh, Flemmy the fungus troll
