There Is A Happy Land..This is a messy and horrible tab for which I apologise, no idea who it's from but on my LP record this song is too badly damaged to hear so I couldn't tab it myself, sorry about the quality!

Wish- and the thunder clouds will vanish, wish- and the storm will fade away, wish again---------and you will stand before me while the sky will paint an overture and trees will play the rhythm of my dream. When I live my dream, please be there to meet me, let me be the one to understand. When I live my dream, I'll forget the hurt you gave me, then we can live in our new land.

THE LAUGHING GNOME THE LAUGHING GNOME C Ab C I was walking- down the high street- when I heard footsteps behind me, Ab C F C F C and there was a little old man in scarlet and grey, chuckling away. Ab C Well he trotted- back to my house- and he sat beside the telly, Ab C F C F C with his tiny hands on his tummy, chuckling away, chugging all day. [spoken] "I ought to report you to the gnome office." "Gnome office, ha,ha,ha!"

Ab C Well I gave him- roasted toad-stools- And a glass of dandelion wine. Ab C F C F C Then I put him on a train to Eastbourne and carried his bag and gave him a fag. C "Ave you got a light boy?" "'Ere! Where do you come from?" "Gnome-man's land." "Oh,really." C Ab C In the morning- when I woke up- he was sitting on the edge of my bed- Ab C F C F C with his brother whose name was Fred. He'd brought him along- to sing me a song.- C "Alright let's here it?" "'Ere! what's that clicking sound?" F "That's Fred. He's a metrognome." "Own up. I'm a gnome, ain' I?"
