When I See An Elephant Fly

Em7    Edim            D      B7
I saw a peanut stand, heard a rubber band,

        Em7         Edim        D   D6
I saw a needle that winked its eye.

       F#7                   B7
But I'd be done see'n about everything

    E7/9       A6/7/9  A7/9  A7sus4  D
When I  see an   el -    e  - phant fly.

        Em7         Edim            D      B7
I saw a front porch swing, heard a diamond ring,

        Em7        Edim     D    D6
I saw a polka-dot railroad tie,

      F#7                     B7
But I'd be done see'n about everything

    E7/9       A6/7/9  A7/9  A7sus4  D
When I  see an   el -    e  - phant fly.

Dah daht doo daht wow.

   G             Em       Gm7         Gdim
I saw a clothes horse, he r'ar up and buck,

          D              G          G/B       D
And they tell me that a man made a vegetable truck;

   G         Em7  Gm7
I didn't see that, I only heard,

    E7        Bm7/5-           A7   E7    A7
But just to be sociable, I'll take your word.

          Em7      Edim           D        B7
I heard a fireside chat, I saw a baseball bat,

            Em7            Edim        D    D6
And I just laughed till I thought I'd die;

    F#7                     B7
But I'd be done see'n about everything

    E7/9       A6/7/9  A7/9  A7sus4  D
