Don't know who sang this, I worked it out by ear today, seems to work ok, just the chorus.


-5  6  -6  -5 5 -4    -5   -5   -6 
Nellie the elephant packed her trunk
 -6  -7   -7  -8   7 -7  -6  -5  
And said good-bye to the circus
 6   6    5   5   5  -6 -6 -6   -5
Off she went with a  trumpety trump
  7        -7       -6
Trump !  Trump !  Trump  !
 6    -5  6   -6  -5 5 -4   -5   -5   -6 
Now,  Nellie the elephant packed her trunk
 -6  -7  -7   -8  7   -7 -6  -5 
And trundled back to the jungle
 6   6    5    5  5 -6 -6 -6   -5  
Off she went with a trumpety trump
  7        5       -4
Trump !  Trump !  Trump  !

 4    4  -5  -6   7   -6  7    6 
The head of the herd was call-ing
 -6   6   -5   5
Far  far  a - way
 5   -4   5   -5    5  -4   6  -6   -7
They met one night, in the sil-ver light
-7  7   -8   7  -7  -6   6
On the road to  Man-der-lay
