Standard tuning, capo 7th fret
This is a simplified version, based on her BBC interview performance

I saw seventeen pink sugar elephants
Sitting under a chestnut tree
I said good morning pink sugar elephants
But they wouldn t speak to me
Each had two eyes but they couldn t see me there
Each had four legs but they couldn t go anywhere
And so we just sat
That early autumn morning
Sun not yet risen and magic everywhere
Lalalala Lalalala
Laaaaaaaa lalala
I walked up to one pink sugar elephant
Asked why wouldn t he speak to me
But he was a factory-made pink sugar elephant
Given to children for treats after tea
He had two eyes but he couldn t see me there
He had four legs but he couldn t go anywhere
And so we just sat
That early autumn morning
Sun not yet risen and magic everywhere
Lalalala Lalalala
Laaaaaaaa lalala
