Gnome, The
by Syd Barrett
I [D] want to [A] tell you a [D] story
about a [C] little [A] man [C] if I [A] can.
A [D] gnome named [A] Grimble [D] Crumble.
And [C] little [A] gnomes stay [C] in their [A] homes,
[G] eat- [D]ing, [Bb7] sleep- [C] ing, [F] drink- [A7] ing their [D] wine.
He wore a scarlet tunic,
a blue-green hood, it looked quite good.
He had a big adventure
amidst the grass, fresh air at last.
Wining, dining, biding his time...
(Chorus
And [G] then one day... [C] Hoo- [F] ray!
A- [A] nother [A] way for [G] gnomes to [D] say
[G] Ooom- [D] ray!)
Look at the sky, look at the river.
Isn't it good?
Look at the sky, look at the river.
Isn't it good?
Winding, finding places to go.
Chorus
