Nelson - Key of E

Nelson, Nelson

E
In the middle of the enchanted forest a magic meadow there be
E					E7
And in the middle of the magic meadow there is a Hollow Tree
A7
And in the hollow tree there lives a creature like none you've ever seen
E
His fur is brown and black and white and his eyes are emerald green
B7	A7		E
Nelson, Nelson, is his name

A little like a raccoon, a little like a fox
A little like a baby bear who's wearing some white socks
He's friends with all the animals, the flowers and the trees
The cows think he's the coolest, so do ants and bees
Nelson, Nelson is his name

Magpie is a good friend, so are Bird and Bat
Rabbit and Possum and owl and Mule and brother and sister Cat
Frog and Toad live down the road on the banks of Crystal Stream
And Nelson plays with Horse and Dog on the meadow's softball team
Nelson, Nelson is his name

One thing Nelson loves to do is sing and play guitar
Everyone comes over when they hear that music start
Dog picks up a fiddle, Beaver grabs a flute
Soon there's laughter in the air and children looking cute
Nelson, Nelson is his name

You'll find them every Sunday gathered round the hollow tree
Singing songs and laughing clapping hands and being free
It's a constant celebration, a musical suprise
A feeling of comradarie a glimmer in a baby's eye
Nelson, Nelson is his name
B7	A7		E
Nelson, Nelson, is his name
