[Verse 1]
Gm
Cm Gm
Come along, catch a Heffalump
Cm Gm
Sit with me on a muddy clump
Cm
We'll sing a song of days gone by
Gm
Run along now, don’t be glum
Cm
Get you gone, now, have some fun
Gm G Cm
Don't be long, for the end is nigh
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Fm Ebm Abm Bb
Don't let moments pass along
Cm Bbm Gm Cm G
And waste before your eyes;
Cm
March with me and the borogoves
Cm
Come with me and the slithy toves
Cm
And never ask us why
[Chorus]
Ab Cm Abm
Come, come, come, come, come along now
Cm Ab
Run away from the hum-drum
Cm
We'll go to a place that is safe from
Ab
Greed, anger and boredom
C Cm Ab
We'll dance and sing till sundown
Cm Abm
And feast with abandon
Cm
We'll sleep when the morning comes
Gm Cm
And we'll rise by the sound of the birdsongs
[Bridge]
We'll be here when the world slows down
Gm G
And the sunbeams fade away
Cm
Keeping time by a pendulum
Gm
As the fabric starts to fray
Fm Gm Ab Bb
There’s no such thing as time to kill
Cm G
Nor time to throw away
[Chorus]
Ab C Cm Ab
Come, come, come, come, come along now
Cm
Run away from the hum-drum
We'll go to a place that is safe from
Gm Cm
Greed, anger and boredom
We'll dance and sing till sundown
Ab
And feast with abandon
Cm
We'll sleep when the morning comes
And we'll rise by the sound of the birdsongs
[Verse 2]
Cm
Come with me, catch a rare type specimen
Cuddle up with a hesitant skeleton
We'll break our fast with friends
Once we're fed, we shall disappear rapidly
Many moons to the west of here and happily
Our journey never ends
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Ab Eb Ab Bb
Shut your ears when sirens sing
Cm Bb Cm G
Tie armbands to your feet;
Cm
Listen up and you won't go wrong again
Float along on a verse-less song and then
G Cm
Get to where the two ends meet
[Chorus]
Ab C Cm C
Come, come, come, come, come along now
Cm Ab
Run away from the hum-drum
Cm
We'll go to a place that is safe from
C
Greed, anger and boredom
Cm
We'll dance and sing till sundown
And feast with abandon
Ab Eb Cm
We'll sleep when the morning comes
And we'll rise by the sound of the birdsongs
