[F#m] brain elephant [A] arrived [E] at the _ _ [F#m] constable's sot with her trunk [A] locked in shackles [E] and
her ankles in chains.

The judge took [A] the bench to [E] the village brass _ [F#] cavalcade.
Elephant [A] refused to [E] swear the oath, said, I [F#] don't know anything about truth, but I [A] know
