Gnu Song Chords by Flanders And Swann

Here's another animal scene.
_ _ _ [G] _ _
[Bb] _ _ [Eb] A year ago, last Thursday, I was strolling in the zoo
when I met a man who thought he knew the lot.
[G] He was laying down the law about the [Cm] habits of baboons
[F] and the number of quills a porcupine has got.
[Eb] So I asked him, what's that [Bbm] creature there?
He answered, it's a helk.
I might have gone [Fm] on thinking that was true.
If the animal in question hadn't put [Cm] that chap to shame
[Gm] and remarked, I [Fm] hate a helk, [G] I'm a ganoo. _ _
[C] _ _ I'm a ganoo, [Dm] the g-nicest work of g-nature in the zoo.
I'm a ganoo, how do you do?
[D] You really ought to know wahoos [C] wahoo.
I'm a ganoo, spelt G-N [Bb]-U.
I'm not a [F] camel or a [Dm] kangaroo.
So let me introduce, I'm neither man or moose.
[G] So ganoo, ganoo, ganoo, I'm a ganoo.
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ I had taken furnished lodgings down at Rustington-on [Fm]-Sea
whence I travelled on [Eb] to Ashton-under-Lyme, it was actually.
And the second night I stayed there, I was waken from a dream,
[F] which I'll tell you all about some other time.
[Bb] Among the [Bbm] hunting trophies on the wall above my bed,
stuffed and mounted, was a face [Fm] I thought I knew. _ _
[Abm] _ A man of carving, [Cm] and I thought, could it be a hearty beast?
And I seemed to hear a voice.
[G] _ _ _
Ganoo, [C] I'm a ganoo, a g-nother ganoo.
[D] I wish I could [Dm] g-nash my teeth at you.
I'm a ganoo, how do you do?
[G] You really ought to g-nose, woo-hoo, woo-hoo.
[C] I'm a ganoose of g-n-u.
[Bb] Call me bison or a copy [Dm] and I'll see.
Ganoor am I in the least like that [A] dreadful hearty beast.
Ah, ganoo, [C] ganoo, ganoo.
_ Ganoo, ganoo, ganoo, I'm a ganoo.
Ganoo, [G] ganoo, ganoo. _
_ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
It's very nice of you.
_ Architecture, said Hegel, is frozen music, as you all remember.
Donald Swan's music has often been compared with defrosted architecture.
Nowhere is this more evident than in his setting,
a setting which has been described by music critics all over this country as spiffing. This song_ _ _ _ _ _
