Vers 1: (slowly)
E minorEm B7B7 E minorEm  G+G         BB
To Bombay a travelling circus came,
  F#7F#7           BB      F#7F#7      BB
they brought an intelligent elephant and Nellie was her name.

E minorEm B7B7  E minorEm  G+G          BB
One dark night she slipped her iron chain
  F#7F#7      BB         F#7F#7    BB
and off she ran to Hindustan and was never seen again...

(music stops)

Ooooooooooooooooh....

Chorus: (faster)

Nellie the elephant packed her trunk and said good-bye to the circus
A augmentedA         E MajorE        A augmentedA   F#7F#7  BB
Off she went with a trumpety-trump, TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!
  E MajorE                    A augmentedA          E MajorE
Now Nellie the elephant packed her trunk and trumbled back to the jungle

Night by night, she danced to the circus band,
   F#7F#7          BB       F#7F#7         BB
when Nellie was leading the big parade she looked so proud and grand

E minorEm B7B7  E minorEm     G+G      BB
No more tricks for Nellie to perform
   F#7F#7        BB         F#7F#7        BB
they taught her how to take a bow and she took the crowd by storm...
