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

E                                        A                    E 
Nellie the elephant packed her trunk and said good-bye to the circus 
A                  E                F#      B      E  
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#      B      E 
Off she went with a trumpety-trump. TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP! 

 
Em    B  Em         Em                   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         Em           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 
 
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhh

    A                    E       A        E
The head of the herd was calling far, far away; 
     F#                   B                   F#           C 
they met one night in the silver light on the road to Mandalay 
 
Ooooooooooooooooh
