Standard tuning, capo 7th fret
This is a simplified version,
based on her BBC interview performance
Em C B7
I saw seventeen pink sugar elephants
Em C B7
Sitting under a chestnut tree
Em C B7
I said good morning pink sugar elephants
Em C Am Em
But they wouldn't speak to me
Am Em Am Em
Each had two eyes but they couldn't see me there
Am Em Am Em
Each had four legs but they couldn't go anywhere
C
And so we just sat
D Dsus4
That early autumn morning
G D Am Em
Sun not yet risen and magic everywhere
Am Em Am Em
Lalalala Lalalala
C B7 Em
Laaaaaaaa lalala
Em C B7
I walked up to one pink sugar elephant
Em C B7
Asked why wouldn't he speak to me
Em C B7
But he was a factory-made pink sugar elephant
Em C Am Em
Given to children for treats after tea
Am Em Am Em
He had two eyes but he couldn't see me there
Am Em Am Em
He had four legs but he couldn't go anywhere
C
And so we just sat
D Dsus4
That early autumn morning
G D Am Em
Sun not yet risen and magic everywhere
Am Em Am Em
Lalalala Lalalala
C B7 Em
Laaaaaaaa lalala
