D A D C A C A

I want to tell you a story 'bout a little man, if I can,

D A D C A C A

A gnome named Grimble Gromble. And little gnomes stay in their homes,

G D Bb7 C F A7 D

Eating, sleeping, drinking their wine.

D A D C A C A

He wore a scarlet tunic, a bluegreen hood; it looked quite good.

D A D C A C A

He had a big adventure amidst the grass, fresh air at last.

G D Bb7 C F A7 D

Wining, dining, biding his time.

[Chorus]

G C/G F A/E E G D G D

And then one day, hooray, another way for gnomes to say, "Oooooooh my"

Winding, finding places to go.
