[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
E F#m
Does she wander deep inside her slumber from dream to dream?
B
What does she dream?
E
You know you love her, but do you really know her?
F#m B
I look in her face I know I’m somewhere in there.
F#m B
But, she’s somebody else, she’s somebody new.
F#m B
And I can’t help myself from going wandering with her
F#m
From room to room: today, tomorrow, today
[Chorus]
E Emaj7 E7 A E
Oh Nellie, oh Nellie, oh Nellie, yeah aah
E Emaj7 E7 A E
Oh Nellie, oh Nellie, oh Nellie, yeah aah
[Verse 2]
E F#m
Does she wander deep inside her slumber from dream to dream?
B
What does she dream?
E
Oh to hold her, so happy just to know her
F#m B
I got an old notebook, it’s filled with bits and baubles.
F#m B
I wanna tighten it up and put it in her room
F#m B
between the hyacinth and the book of Aesop’s fables.
F#m
I wanna go there soon: today, tomorrow, today
[Chorus]
E Emaj7 E7 A E
Oh Nellie, oh Nellie, oh Nellie, yeah aah
E Emaj7 E7 A E
Oh Nellie, oh Nellie, oh Nellie, yeah aah
[Chorus Riff]

My 2 y.o. daughter took a fast liking to this song, and it's her current favorite. I teared up a bit when I looked at the lyrics and realized it's basically about her! I'd love to learn to play it for her. Thanks for taking the time to put down the chords!
+15

to simplify play with capo on 3rd fret and transpose up 3 halfsteps (without capo for low voices)

I just put the capo on the first fret and transposed the chords and it sounds most accurate that way
