[Verse 1]
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.
[Verse 2]
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"
[Verse 3]
D A D C/G A C/G A
Look at the sky; look at the river. Isn't it good?___
D A D C/G A C/G A
Look at the sky; look at the river. Isn't it good?___
G D Bb7 C F A7 D
Winding, finding places to go.
[Outro]
G C/G F A/E E G D G D
And then one day, hooray, another way for gnomes to say, "Oooooooh my"
G D
"Ooooooooooh myyyy"
