Intro 
     Ab                 Eb        Gm    Cm   Eb   Ab   Eb 
(Hip-hip hooray for the elephants on parade) 
     Ab                 Eb        G 
(Hip hip hooray for the elephants on parade) 


Verse: 1 
Am 
   Take the gist of it and twist it 

'Til it makes you smile 
Eb 
And don't be scared if there's a snare 

Sometimes it takes a while 
G 
There's much to learn from every turn inside a labyrinth 
     Ab 
Don't you try to think about it 

No way to talk about it 


Pre-Chorus: 
Am                                                       Em 
   And I will ever change and never cease to be amazed 

Air bubbles up and overflows and then it goes away 
G                                               Ab 
I want to hold and nurture every second of this life 

That has been given to me 

Even though limitedly 



Cm                   Eb 
   Jackrabbit, snake pit runnin' oh 
Ab            Eb                       Ab 
My my, been a long time comin' home 
           Eb         G           Cm 
Jackrabbit dying deep down in his soul 
                     Eb 
Dag-nabbit, you hate me, but hey now 
    Ab                   Eb 
Hip-hip hooray with your baritones on your 
    Ab                 Eb        Gm 
Hip-hip hooray for the elephants on parade 



Verse: 2 
Am 
   You're preaching to the Chorus 
                 Em 
Line alright for this whole time 
    Eb 
And I'm fine if I can 

Tell a lie about the minor crimes 
G 
I won't try to justify the reason why 
Ab 
I think that I'll never die is so preposterous 
    Am                                               Eb 
It's like a bag of circus peanuts in a sewage drain 

Or airin' out your dirty laundry on a weather vane 
G                                           Ab 
Hip-hip hooray for the elephants on parade 

They're gonna trample themselves 
              Fm 
They're gonna trample themselves 


 
Cm                   Eb 
   Jackrabbit, snake pit runnin' oh 
Ab            Eb                       Ab 
My my, been a long time comin' home 
           Eb         G           Cm 
Jackrabbit dying deep down in his soul 
                     Eb 
Dag-nabbit, you hate me, but hey now 
    Ab                   Eb 
Hip-hip hooray with your baritones on your 
    Ab                 Eb        G     C 
Hip-hip hooray for the elephants on parade  


Bridge 
                 G 
I got the feeling that I wanna be alone with you 
                 C 
And I got the feeling that you 
      Eb                            Cm 
Might want to be alone with me too 

Take a finger and snap, just like that 
      Eb 
And I had to say hey baby let's go 
F 
And make it home for our show 
G 
Simple defragmentation gets us to the point at last 
                          Eb 
But no relaxing 'til they give us all our memory back 
Em 
Touche but they had the wherewithal 
   F                 G 
To take it all out of order anyway 
Gm                           G 
They can always make you pay up 

                                          Bm 
And I will ever change and never cease to be amazed 
                       Eb 
Air bubbles up and overflows and then it goes away 
  C 
I want to hold and nurture every second of this life 

That has been given to me 
F                      G 
Even though limitedly 

Like a bag of circus peanuts in a sewage drain 
Bb                       Eb 
Or airin' out your dirty laundry on a weather vane 
C 
Hip-hip hooray for the elephants on parade 
Eb                 F                    G 
Hip hooray for the elephants on parade 

                                                          Bb 
Take the gist of it and twist it 'til it makes you smile 
                                 Eb 
And don't be scared if there's a snare 

Sometimes it takes a while 
C                                Eb            F 
There's much to learn from every turn inside a labyrinth 
Gm 
Don't you try to think about it 

Ain't no way to talk about it 

I will ever change and never cease to be amazed 
Bb                     Eb 
Air bubbles up and overflows and then it goes away 
C 
I want to hold and nurture every second of this life 

That has been given to me 
F 
Even though limitedly 


Outro

Hip-hip Hooray for the elephants on parade
