"Lawng, lawng ago...."
A E A E
Long, long ago, in China I'm told
A E B
To England was traded some tea
A E A E
And so sealed the fate in pieces of eight
A E B
All England, and all of the world
(riff 1) B
Yeah........poppies
A E A E
When soon his majesty sent soldiers and thieves
A E B
To India searching for gold
A E A E
Instead, from the ground some magic they found
A E B
Aww, something far better I'm told
(riff 1) B
Yeah.......poppies
(riff 1) B
Yeah.......poppies
(instrumental--play through chords of one verse)
A E A E
And now, this story told from days of our own
A E B
When gossamer doggies ran ran
A E A E
They'd patiently wait, with pieces of eight
A E B
So everybody could smile
(riff 1) B
One more time.........poppies
(riff 1) B E
Yeah.........poppies
