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