Em7    E?            D      B7 
I saw a peanut stand, heard a rubber band, 
        Em7         E?        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  A74  D 
When I  see an   el -    e  - phant fly.  
        Em7         E?            D      B7 
I saw a front porch swing, heard a diamond ring, 
        Em7        E?     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  A74  D 
When I  see an   el -    e  - phant fly. 
 G  Em7  G/B A7/#5  D   D7 
Dah daht doo daht wow. 
   G             Em       Gm7         G? 
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(b5)           A7   E7    A7 
But just to be sociable, I'll take your word.  
          Em7      E?           D        B7 
I heard a fireside chat, I saw a baseball bat, 
            Em7            E?        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  A74  D 
When I  see an   el -    e  - phant fly.
