Intro
   AbAb         Eb MajorEb    G minorGm  C minorCm  Eb MajorEb  AbAb  Eb MajorEb
(Hip-hip hooray for the elephants on parade)
   AbAb         Eb MajorEb    G+G
(Hip hip hooray for the elephants on parade)


Verse: 1
A minorAm
  Take the gist of it and twist it

'Til it makes you smile
Eb MajorEb
And don't be scared if there's a snare

Sometimes it takes a while
G+G
There's much to learn from every turn inside a labyrinth
   AbAb
Don't you try to think about it

No way to talk about it

Pre-Chorus:
A minorAm                            E minorEm
  And I will ever change and never cease to be amazed

Air bubbles up and overflows and then it goes away
G+G                        AbAb
I want to hold and nurture every second of this life

That has been given to me

Even though limitedly


C minorCm          Eb MajorEb
  Jackrabbit, snake pit runnin' oh
AbAb      Eb MajorEb            AbAb
My my, been a long time comin' home
      Eb MajorEb     G+G      C minorCm
Jackrabbit dying deep down in his soul
           Eb MajorEb
Dag-nabbit, you hate me, but hey now
  AbAb          Eb MajorEb
Hip-hip hooray with your baritones on your
  AbAb         Eb MajorEb    G minorGm
Hip-hip hooray for the elephants on parade

Verse: 2
A minorAm
  You're preaching to the Chorus
         E minorEm
Line alright for this whole time
  Eb MajorEb
And I'm fine if I can

Tell a lie about the minor crimes
G+G
I won't try to justify the reason why
AbAb
I think that I'll never die is so preposterous
  A minorAm                        Eb MajorEb
It's like a bag of circus peanuts in a sewage drain

Or airin' out your dirty laundry on a weather vane
G+G                      AbAb
Hip-hip hooray for the elephants on parade

They're gonna trample themselves
       F minorFm
They're gonna trample themselves


C minorCm          Eb MajorEb
  Jackrabbit, snake pit runnin' oh
AbAb      Eb MajorEb            AbAb
My my, been a long time comin' home
      Eb MajorEb     G+G      C minorCm
Jackrabbit dying deep down in his soul
           Eb MajorEb
Dag-nabbit, you hate me, but hey now
  AbAb          Eb MajorEb
Hip-hip hooray with your baritones on your

Hip-hip hooray for the elephants on parade


Bridge
         G+G
I got the feeling that I wanna be alone with you
         C majorC
And I got the feeling that you
   Eb MajorEb              C minorCm
Might want to be alone with me too

Take a finger and snap, just like that
   Eb MajorEb
And I had to say hey baby let's go
FF
And make it home for our show
G+G
Simple defragmentation gets us to the point at last
             Eb MajorEb
But no relaxing 'til they give us all our memory back
E minorEm
Touche but they had the wherewithal
  FF         G+G
To take it all out of order anyway
G minorGm              G+G
They can always make you pay up

                     B minorBm
And I will ever change and never cease to be amazed
            Eb MajorEb
Air bubbles up and overflows and then it goes away
 C majorC
I want to hold and nurture every second of this life

That has been given to me

There's much to learn from every turn inside a labyrinth

Ain't no way to talk about it

I will ever change and never cease to be amazed
Bb majorBb           Eb MajorEb
Air bubbles up and overflows and then it goes away
