"Lawng, lawng ago...."
L[A]ong, long a[E]go, in C[A]hina I'm t[E]old
To [A]England was t[E]raded some t[B]ea
And [A]so sealed the f[E]ate in p[A]ieces of e[E]ight
All [A]England, and [E]all of the w[B]orld
(riff 1) B
Yeah........poppies
When s[A]oon his majes[E]ty sent s[A]oldiers and t[E]hieves
To [A]India se[E]arching for g[B]old
Inst[A]ead, from the gr[E]ound some m[A]agic they f[E]ound
Aww, s[A]omething far b[E]etter I'm t[B]old
(riff 1) B
Yeah.......poppies

And [A]now, this story t[E]old from d[A]ays of our [E]own
When g[A]ossamer do[E]ggies ran [B]ran
They'd p[A]atiently w[E]ait, with [A]pieces of [E]eight
So ev[A]eryb[E]ody could sm[B]ile
(riff 1) B
One more time.........poppies
(riff 1) B E
