A  D   E

[Verse 1]
A            A/G#        A/F#     A/E
Underground, overground, Wombling free
    D          D/C#      Bm         E
The Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we
A           A/G#       A/F#           A/E
Making good use of the things that we find
D               D/C#     Bm          E
Things that the everyday folks leave behind

[Chorus 1]
F#                       Bm         Bm/A
Uncle Bulgaria, he can remember the days
        E                 A
When he wasn't behind the times
         C#
With his map of the world
F#m                    D                 E   E/D  E/C#  E/B
Pick up the papers and take them to Tobermory

[Verse 2]
A           A/G#       A/F#      A/E
Wombles are organised, work as a team
D           D/C#     Bm          E
Wombles are tidy and Wombles are clean
A            A/G#        A/F#     A/E
Underground, overground, Wombling free
    D          D/C#      Bm         E
The Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we

[Verse 3]
A            A/G#       A/F#       A/E
People don't notice us, they never see
D           D/C#    Bm         E
Under their noses a Womble may be
A         A/G#      A/F#         A/E
Womble by night and we Womble by day
D           D/C#      Bm       E
Looking for litter to trundle away

[Chorus 2]
F#                          Bm
We're so incredibly utterly devious
Bm/A       E            A
Making the most of everything
     C#
Even bottles and tins
F#m                    D                        E
Pick up the pieces and make them into something new
E/D   E/C#       E/B
      Is what we do

[Verse 4]
A            A/G#        A/F#     A/E
Underground, overground, Wombling free
    D          D/C#      Bm         E
The Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we
A           A/G#       A/F#           A/E
Making good use of the things that we find
D               D/C#     Bm          E
Things that the everyday folks leave behind
