Vers 1: (slowly)
Em B7 Em  G         B
To Bombay a travelling circus came,
  F#7           B      F#7      B
they brought an intelligent elephant and Nellie was her name.

Em B7  Em  G          B
One dark night she slipped her iron chain
  F#7      B         F#7    B
and off she ran to Hindustan and was never seen again...

Ooooooooooooooooh....

Chorus: (faster)
E                    A          E
Nellie the elephant packed her trunk and said good-bye to the circus
A         E        A   F#7  B
Off she went with a trumpety-trump, TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!
  E                    A          E
Now Nellie the elephant packed her trunk and trumbled back to the jungle
A          E        F#7  B7   E
Off she went with a trumpety-trump. TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!


Vers 2: (slowly)
Em  B7 Em     G          B
Night by night, she danced to the circus band,
   F#7          B       F#7         B
when Nellie was leading the big parade she looked so proud and grand

Em B7  Em     G      B
No more tricks for Nellie to perform
   F#7        B         F#7        B
they taught her how to take a bow and she took the crowd by storm...

(music stops)

Ooooooooooooooooh

Now Nellie the elephant packed her trunk and trumbled back to the jungle

Off she went with a trumpety-trump. TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!
