[D](Sh[Bb]e wea[D]rs red feathers and

From nine to three they [D]serve you tea
But [E]ruin your dispos[A]ition

[Verse 4]
Goodbye to the London bank,

[Verse 6]
I went to her Ma and Pa
and said I loved her [E]only
[A]And they both said we [D]could be wed,
oh, [E]what a cere[A]mony
An [G]elephant brought her in,
[D]placed her by my side
[G]While [D]six baboons got out bassoons and [Em]played
"Here [A]Comes the [D]Bride"

[Bb]heart [Abdim](in her heart) for me[Eb]
