Not sure what key this is actually in but this how I play it.
Verae 1
Dm A Dm A
To Bombay a travelling circus came
E A E A
they brought an intelligent elephant and Nellie was her name
Dm A Dm A
One dark night she slipped her iron chain
E A E A
and off she ran to Hindustan and was never seen again
Chorus
D G D
Oh Nellie the elephant packed her trunk and said good-bye to the circus

Off she went with a trumpety trump trump trump trump
D G D
Now Nellie the elephant packed her trunk and trundled back to the jungle
G D G A D
Off she went with a trumpety trump trump trump trump
Verse 2
Dm A Dm A
Night by night she danced to the circus band

they taught her how to take a bow and she took the crowd by storm
