Subject: RE: Chord Req: The Gnome From: leeneia Date: 05 Aug 16 - 08:20 PM Here's one version. THE GNOME C Am D7 G I'm sitting in the garden in my little Noddy suit C Am D7 G With a sparrow on me fishing rod and frog spawn in my boot F C Am Oh it's tiddling down with rain, I've got water on the brain, D7 G G7 But I'll sit here by the pond like King Canute. C Am D7 \G The kids have knocked my nose off, and my boots are getting thin, C Am D7 G And the way that they all treat me here, it really is a sin. F C Am And there's a pigeon I can see, he's aiming straight for me, D7 G C C7 And the gardener strikes his matches on my shin. F G Well, long ago I used to be a king upon a throne. F C I met a wicked fairy and she turned me into stone. F C Am D7 And that is why I'm sitting in this garden all alone. D7 G G7 It's not much fun being a gnome. [And so on, and so forth.....] |

Subject: RE: Chord Req: The Gnome (Miles Wootton) From: GUEST,wheatman Date: 07 Aug 16 - 01:31 AM Thank you all for that.Yes Joe, I knew it was Miles Wooton but did not spot the text 'correction'. |
Subject: RE: The Gnome (Miles Wootton) From: Felipa Date: 07 Aug 16 - 06:32 AM someone should write a song about the gnome which was stolen (liberated?) from a garden and then the owner received picture postcards from the gnome on his travels. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travelling_gnome_prank Gnome at Last http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1043552/Gnome-Stolen-garden-elf-returned-7-month-adventure-world.html http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/how-murphy-the-stolen-gnome-went-around-the-world-in-48-photographs-891505.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vk4_s6nb0Z8 (interview with Murphy's "owner" Murphy (2008) wasnt the first travelling gnome, but is a famous one. other examples of stolen gnome in popular culture include the 2001 film Amelie and the travelocity ad campaign 2004: http://www.csmonitor.com/2004/0130/p14s01-lihc.html etc There must be a song! it could be a continuation of Miles' song as that explains why the gnome had to get away. there is a music group called Stolen Gnomes |

And then one day Hooray, another way for gnome to say Ooh my... 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 And then one day Hooray, another way for gnomes to say Ooh my ooh my... |
